Abstract

en_US Here is a Japanese hardbound version of Lobel's prize-winner. There is a reference to 1981, perhaps a first edition in Japanese. Let me repeat comments I made on the original English edition. A Caldecott Award winner, and rightly so. One-page tales, perhaps animal short stories rather than fables, face excellent illustrations. The best are perhaps The Hen and the Apple Tree and The Elephant and the Sun, but also good are King Lion and the Beetle, Baboon's Umbrella, The Ostrich in Love, The Poor Old Dog, The Pelican and the Crane, and The Mouse at the Seashore. Contrast Camel with the Aesopic fable on the same subject. This copy has minimal scratchings on the pre-title-page; they also leave an impression on the title-page itself.
