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 Tortoise & the Hare
(Worlds of Wonder, Inc, 1986)
Boy, it took a lot of illustrators to do a simple book! For use with a (lacking) cassette. The story nicely includes the details that a child would want to know, e.g., what a tortoise or hare is, what their names were, ...
The Miller, His Son and Their Donkey
(Distributed in the U.S. by Holt Rinehart, and Winston,North-South Books, 1984)
See my comments on the identical hardbound version. Both paperbacks are less then perfect: the Berkeley copy has a slightly bent cover, and the Worcester copy has a scuffed back cover and corners.
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Troll Associates, 1981)
I have had this book for twenty-three years, but there was a new addition in this eBay advertisement: story cards for a literary center. I was curious. The book remains the same, and I will include my earlier remarks on ...
The Fox and the Grapes
(Society for Visual Education, 1980)
Nice simple big pictures, one to a page. This fox wears a coat and cap. At one point in his leaping he touches the grapes. He tries to leap at them ten times. The fox admits at the end that the grapes look and smell ...
The Fox and the Crow
(Society for Visual Education, 1980)
Nice simple big pictures, one to a page. This fox does the flattery of the female crow well. She even wears a hat to identify her sex.) He starts with compliments on general beauty and feathers, and then moves on to the ...
An Aesop's Fable: The Old Man and Death.
(The Good Book Press, 1986)
A beautifully made little book that tells this Aesopic story very well. The size seems to me to work against the two cuts. There is an exquisite design of hatchet and wood on the cover. For other work by Peter and Donna ...
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
(Society for Visual Education, 1980)
Nice simple big pictures, one to a page. The boy ends up telling himself the moral. Maybe the last page, without borders or print, is the most expressive: the men look up to the hills and do nothing.
The Fox & The Crow
(Jim YarnellOak Park Press], 1986)
A nicely produced little sliver that shows how Aesop keeps getting remembered wherever book-people gather.
