Abstract
-
en_US
Good, lively art. The version follows La Fontaine quite faithfully and uses the late afternoon hours to mark the progress from perch to trout to carp to minnows to a snail. The fish point their fins and giggle and gurgle at the heron's pathetic supper. There is a good moral from a wise frog bystander: Folks who want too much usually end up with nothing. Little black-and-white designs set off the text pages that alternate with full-page colored art. Fine work!
