El Cuervo y la Zorra
(Ediciones A. Saldaña, 1999)
"Once again, things come together from different times and places. In Salamanca in 1986, I found a simple pop-up from a publisher I did not know. Sixteen years later I found a French die-cut presentation of LM done by ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Houghton Mifflin, 1996)
Here is a second copy of the first printing. What a treasure! This sideways book is an enchanting expansion of TH, with Jones' special feature of a peep hole in the text pages between full-page illustrations. The peep ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
(McGraw-Hill, 1975)
Here is an extra copy without a dust-jacket. A beautiful book. The text is indeed after Dodsley, who presents this story as I, 30 The Court and Country-Mouse. This version changes Dodsley's female country mouse into a ...
Adventure on the Water
(Modern Publishing: Unisystems, 1986)
Here is an extra copy bought from the same source at the same time. Here is one of the four books in the series on the TMCM. Like Up, Up and Away, this one has little to do with the originating fable. It describes a ...
The Tortoise and the Hare

Here is an extra copy of this booklet. There are two Easter eggs pasted on 30 of the good copy, and there is some water staining on the older extra, but this is a delightful pamphlet. The fable is well told. Tom fools ...
The Wind and the Sun
(North-South Books, 1992)
Here is the second of two extra copies of this book. Very pleasing art to present a cogent story. Among the best illustrations is the first for the wind's storm. The sun itself announces the moral in proclaiming victory ...
Fox Tale
(Greenwillow Books, 1991)
Here is an extra copy, bought at the same place at the same time as the one in the collection. The flyleaf announces a funny, frisky fable in true folktale tradition. Fox offers ownership of his tail to Bear for some ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
(Candlewick Press, 1995)
Here is an extra of the first printing. An excellent book. Though it seems to exploit every possibility the story offers, it does so with good art and good sensibility. Ink-and-watercolor combine for lively art of varying ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
(Bantam: Doubleday Dell, 1995)
Here is an extra copy of the third printing of this book. This is a delightful, short, softbound version perhaps most notable for its great rendition of the mice's heads and for the elaboration of mouse-life in both places. ...
