The Donkey and the Lapdog
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 11 in the series. I am doing what I can to find the full set of these eighteen pamphlets. Biro's work is always lively, and this is a fine sixteen-page presentation. Biro is particularly good at giving this donkey ...
The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 3 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 2 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
The Sick Lion
(The Wright Group, 1990)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. Sixteen pages. This -- #16 -- is the only copy I have from the latest series, 13-18. The tired lion here wears a sport jacket, vest, and tie. Deciding to look sick, he puts on ...
The Bee and Jupiter
(Picasshaw Press, 1993)
A beautiful little treasure! A single sheet of fine paper is folded twice to create eight uncut pages, four of which are used for this fable. Besides black text there are gold images on the title page of a bee hive and ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Troll Associates, 1981)
A lively book. The two animals live together. The tortoise has great facial expressions. A great deal of time is spent before we ever get to the idea of a race. Perhaps the best illustration is the centerfold of the ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(Troll Associates, 1981)
The watercolor illustrations are enjoyable. The best may be the one in which the lion grasps the mouse. This version stretches out the story a bit.
The Wind and the Sun
(Ginn, 1972)
A nice little book that tells the story well. De Paola's cloudy wind is especially imaginative.
Feed Me! An Aesop Fable
(Bantam BooksBantam Doubleday Dell, 1992)
See The Boy Who Cried Wolf (1995) and The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse (1994) in the same series. This booklet presents The Mother Lark, Her Children, and the Farmer in lively fashion. Though the story runs longer ...
The Wind and the Sun
(Silver Press, 1995)
It is easy to like dePaola's simple work. He follows a good version of the story that has the wind dive right in even before a formal bet: 'I will show you I am stronger,' said the wind. 'I will blow the cape from that ...
