Abstract
-
en_US
There are nine fables in this lively and colorful landscape-formatted book, as the opening T of C makes clear. The Snake Who Wanted to Put on Pants (1) comes to the fine moral If you can't do it alone, find a friend! Sidney and Sabrina get into a pair of pants together and solve together the problem each had encountered alone. Hamlet and the Fat and Filthy Friends (6) features this great line: The swill is swell if you don't mind the smell! One of the best -- and squarely in the fable tradition -- is Wild Weasel's Wit (11). Wild Weasel outsmarts three animals and eats them, only to be eaten on just the same terms by Griff Grizzly: Those who set traps for others often catch themselves. A prize goes to the illustration on 20 showing Arnold the Anteater's tongue probing through the front door of the ants' residence. On the very last page, many of the book's characters snooze peacefully together under a tree. There is both wisdom and fun here!
