Abstract
-
en_US
I have some twelve editions published by Lito over the years. They are illustrated by five differente artists: Christian Aubron, Corderoc'h, Maya Filip, Monique Gorde, and Sophie Toussaint. Now here is a thirteenth by a sixth artist! 8¾ x 10½, it seems like so many other French La Fontaine books for children! There are twenty fables on some 77 pages. The emphasis is on cuteness in these illustrations. A family of ducks comments on the tortoise's fall as the victim is falling (30). The singing cobbler has a mandolin and a jug of wine (32); I had never pictured him that way. Is he not singing while he works? The cuteness serves a good person when it comes to picturing the donkey who will become the unfortunate scapegoat for the pestilence (50). The ants in GA have skis, ski-poles, and a sled just outside their hut (56). There are several footnotes per fable explaining difficult vocabulary.
