Abstract

en_US I seem now to have four of this series. See also Royal Feast, Dinner for Two, and The Tar Doll, all catalogued under 1988. Like the others, this pamphlet of 16 pages is based on the animated TV series. Photographs of the characters in action are well done. The chief characters here are Cranium the Crow and Fox. The necessary length of a TV episode may hurt the fable here, I believe. As soon as Fox appears, Cranium suspects that he is after the cheese. Cranium first sets the cheese down, and then later uses it like barbells to display his strength. He clamps his beak around it to be safe and even sings through the cheese. I'm not sure La Fontaine's fable profits from all these stages. The lesson is theorized about here by Fox back in his lair enjoying his conquest. A reader cannot be too sure whether Cranium learned anything at all. The last few pages show a child how to make either Fox or Cranium out of clay. The best scenes, I believe, are the cover's scene and the story's late scenes involving the cheese in Cranium's mouth. I may have the full set: the last page mentions the other three members of the series that I have.
