Abstract

en_US This landscape-formatted sixty-four-page paperback workbook apparently matches a half-hour video cassette, which I have not yet found. Most pages have eight TV-like panels or cells, with plenty of open space around them. The story replays TMCM. Tim drives from the city, meets Harry in the country, and is appropriately frightened by a friendly bull. Invited to help himself to lunch, he asks Help myself to what? He declares the food in front of him junk food as opposed to good food like pizza, hamburgers, cola, chocolates. When Tim tries to pick a berry, he seizes a hive instead and has to dive into a pool for safety. Once in the city, the two steal clothes and prepare to steal a car at a toy store. In fact, this version handles better than most the disparity between rat-scale and human-scale. When Harry is about to enter the human door to Tim's home, Tim quickly dissuades him and brings him to the rat-entrance. Harry sits on a radio button and scares himself when the music comes on. Kids interrupt them. Then a cat comes, and Tim hides Harry in a plant. After all the chasing and hassle, Harry tries to sleep but cannot because of the noise. The two take leave of each other sadly and go to their respective homes. To my surprise, Tim soon drives out to the country with his possessions and admits that he has been a thief. There are exercises on various English language skills after each of the three parts. That the idiom is not American may be suggested by the use of cola above and by Tim's invitation to Harry at his car to hop on (not hop in). A note after this section says Some people say 'Hop in.' This workbook is meant for students who have studied two to three years of English. It is first in the series of four, in order of ascending difficulty: before Zip and Earnest, The Ants and the Grasshoppers, and The Woodcutter and the Genie. This is lively work, and I hope I can find all four books and cassettes.
