Abstract
-
en_US
Three fables are announced on the title-page of this kids' book: the title story, MM, and Le Renard et le Bouc. The first two are switched in order. The La Fontaine text is unchanged. As with all of Simon's work, the illustrations are simple and lively. By now I have collected some seven different works by this illustrator! Perhaps the cutest illustration is that of the turtle standing on two legs with suitcase and valise in her hands and a scarf around her head. The final illustration of the abandoned goat in the well is also excellent. Compare with the 1953 La Fontaine: Fables for the slightly different original form of books in the series of Les Albums Rosés. This book once belonged to the École St-Coeur de Marie in Touraine, Quebec.
