Abstract
-
en_US
This landscape-formatted book for children is probably not a fable book, but it touches so much on the fable world that it is worth keeping in the collection. The animals declare a three-day truce, but their tendencies push them to resume life as it has been, with the stronger eating and plundering the weaker. As they move to the end of the their truce, a boy appears and shows them what is different in his life from theirs: he can laugh. He makes clear to them that they need and should not attack each other when they are not hungry. The atmosphere and the behaviors change for the better, though changing the old patterns is hard. The effect of this truce and its learning is still visible today: the animals do not attack unless hungry, and humans are still the only laughers in the world. The woodcuts are large and pleasant. Is the woodcut facing the zebra-page supposed to be as blurred as it is?
