Abstract
-
en_US
This large-format (8½ x 11) paperback book presents fourteen creatures through rhyming couplets and line-drawings. The rhymes sometimes groan, but the word-plays can be fun. Here is a good example from The Gnu and the Gnat: When the gnat gnaws, the gnu gnarls and gnashes its teeth./Then the gnat flies away to gnaw on a new gnu./So, if we don't use the 'g' sound what good does it do?/Neither the gnat nor the gnu knew. Towards the end of the book there are two accounts Based on a fable by Aesop: first, a good version of LM (31-33) and then a composite fable, The Wolves, the Tiger, and the Rabbit. The tiger takes the rabbit from the quarreling wolves, but then moves through water and has the problem usually associated with DS. I was lucky to find this fable needle in Second Story's warehouse haystack of books!
