Abstract

en_US
By special arrangement with Albert Whitman & Company. This edition adds to my copy from the 1969 printing a pictorial cover, pictorial end-papers reproduced from facing pages at the center of the book, and a list facing the title-page of the books in the Invitations to Personal Reading curriculum. I will repeat here my comments from there. As elsewhere in her Whitman books, Katherine Evans uses a crayon-like style, alternating black-and-white and colored spreads. Young Peter is the first to ride. The critic in town stands in the doorway of a hotel marked Hotel de l'Âne. Both Peter and Papa lean over to get the donkey onto their backs. The people refuse to buy a donkey so silly that he has to be carried. Peter and Papa walk home with the donkey and realize that, if you try to please everyone, you please no one. With these books purchased from Karen Thiessen, I now have five of Evans' books by Whitman--only to learn in their pages that the total of her fable books is now up to seven.
