Abstract
-
en_US
An early-grade reader in some continuity with Laidlaw's other work for children. This is a curious book for several reasons. The closest story to a fable is The Timid Rabbit (48), which is identified as an Eastern legend. One nut falls on a pile of sticks, and another falls on the rabbit, who concludes that the sky must be falling. Two other works are included and identified as Aesop's Fables. The first of these is The Camel and the Pig (99), which also occurs in The Child's Treasury (1923/31), though I cannot now tell if in the same version. The camel can look over some walls, and the pig can squeeze through holes in other walls. To be just as we are is the best thing in the world after all (103). Red Hen and Sly Fox (106) includes the standard elements of a scissors, which the hen uses to get out of the bag, and a stone, which she then puts into it. Aesop gets blamed for a lot!
