Abstract

en_US Earlier I had found a copy of a 2000 printing of this book. Now here is a copy of the 1992 printing. "Literacy 2000" should, I believe, not be confused with the fact that that printing happened to have occurred in 2000. Mimosa Publications in this version does not give a place, as they do in 2000. As I wrote then, here is an unusual 8¼" x 6" landscape pamphlet with four stories. The title-page also serves as T of C. The first of the four stories is "Seven Smart Brothers" (2). Seven not-so-smart brothers think that they have lost a brother while fishing, since each brother counts only the other six. A very pleasing panorama shows the brothers fishing (2-3); orange and green elements enhance a basic black silhouette. "Don't Be Ridiculous" (8) has a mule, a dog, and a cat each surprising people with their ability to speak. Of course those who do not hear the animal speaking promptly deny it with the title's expression. "What's In a Name?" starts with another breathtaking panorama, this time with just two colors (12-13). A clever short-term worker at a castle gives three different names for himself. The names serve him well by confusing people when he leaves. "Aunt Teresa's Turnip" is a fine tall tale with a surprising ending. The back cover seems to indicate that this booklet belongs to "Set D" of "Stage 8." Might these indications refer to "Literacy 2000"?
