The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse 2407(cloth)
(Saalfield, 1942)
I cannot believe the various editions of this book that I am finding! I think this makes the sixth. It seems to replicate #407 perfectly in terms of the sequence of pictures. Is it perhaps a more recent version of it? ...
The Lion and the Rat: A Fable by La Fontaine.
(Franklin Watts, 1963)
This is an extra copy missing the first title-page from the same source for the same price. Here is another case where I got a backup copy only to discover that I had only the paperback (1963/86). See my comments there.
The Tortoise and the Hare (Storytoon)
(Rand McNally, 1962)
Here is an extra copy. Harmless, simple cartoons. The boasting hare waited in order to make the finish exciting, and the wait led to a two-minute nap that stretched on and on. The hare could never boast again.
Once a Mouse...
(Charles Scribner's Sons, 1961)
The illustrations and the text are scaled down in this paperbound version. One can also notice a distinctly different tonality in the colors here. This version tells the classic tale well, with lively two-color and ...
The Boy and the Donkey
(NTC Publishing Group, 1990)
This is a progressive story. The donkey will not go home, so the little boy cries. All try to help and end up crying: the rabbit, the fox, and the wolf. Then a little bee stings the donkey and stirs him home. This ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(NTC Publishing Group, 1990)
See the Oxford edition of 1981, a smaller pamphlet with poorer runs of the illustrations. See my comments there.
The Grasshopper and the Ants
(Walt Disney ProductionsWestern Publishing Company, 1968)
This little booklet is identical, except for a few changes, with that published by Western for Disney in the same year. Western is mentioned only as printing the booklet. The other changes all have to do with the presence ...
The Tortoise and the Hare
(Tele-Story: Superscope, 1981)
A small, square book that adds quite a few of its own touches to this story. Both principal characters are fully dressed. The tortoise uses a walking stick. The jokester bunny makes a practice of knocking on the tortoise's ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(Cat Publishing, 1988)
This is a large-format pop-up book with kitschy pictures. I found it twenty-three years ago at Aspidistra Books in Chicago. Now I found it online. This copy is identical, even down to acknowledging Ottenheimer Publishers ...
Le rat de ville et le rat des champs
(European Language Institute, 1997)
This is a clever little 24-page pamphlet dealing with language concepts like antinomies, modes of transport, dining rooms, and neighborhoods. Foldout pages help to offer resources for reflections in these directions. ...
