Abstract
-
en_US
I found this and three other books in the series on sale at the only supermarket we found in our first four stops in Africa, namely Nakumatt in Nairobi. This is a highly colorful and creative visual approach to the story, which is also well told. Among the best illustrations are those showing the fish swimming too deep for the crane to catch them and the depictions of the frustrated swirls the fish would make to avoid the supposed fisherman's nets. In this telling, the crab has no sense of the crane's deceit beforehand, but acts promptly as soon as he sees the bones and then lands with the crane.
