Abstract
-
en_US
I had noticed this book being offered, sometimes for outrageous prices, in the last few weeks. During a short stop in Sonoma, I decided to ask for it in this lovely bookshop. Their computer said that they had copies, but they had trouble finding one of them. The flyleaf already speaks to me when it proclaims We, the creators of 'Who's Got Game?,' were inspired by the wonder of Aesop's Fables--their vitality, their endless demand for new interpretations. Lively verse combines with contemporary cartoons to update this fable. Foxy G (a grasshopper) and Kid A (an ant) hang in the park and romp each day until dark. As vacation ends, Kid A does the chores and shops the shores, while Foxy G sings on. In fact, the music so infects Kid A that he dances while he works. Winter finds Foxy G in a cardboard box in the park wanting to finish one more tune before nightfall. Foxy G has the usual encounter with Kid A, who is quite smug and comfortable. Angry, Foxy G proclaims Art is work. It just looks like play. The two go their separate ways, and the book ends with its title question. Well done!
