Abstract

en_US
Here is an English version of the French work I have from 1970. As in that version, Crak the Frog and John the Bull help Fablio to tell the story in this large-formatted book for children. The cartoon pictures are evidently movie stills. Crak, an Olympic champion, plays in all sorts of ways to his admiring fans, including his fiancée. With his valet, he watches a bullfight between John and Bull on TV. Crak wants to take on the new champion John. He trains, but is miserably bested by John. He finally hires a gas truck to help blow him up, and of course he explodes. As the spectators say, If he hadn't been so envious and so proud, CRAK would never have cracked! Among the best illustrations is the picture of the green Crak blushing red with shame over having forgotten his swimming trunks. I learn in this book that there are six books in the series and that they were published in French, German, Dutch, and again in German for the Swiss.
