La liebre y la tortuga
(CarvajalEditorial Norma, 1979)
Good pop-ups, some of which even incorporate a bit of action, for example when the hare rises up tired or when the race-finishing judge waves the checkered flag. The hare has a great grumpy look on the last page. For ...
El Ratón de Ciudad y el Ratón de Campo
(Peralt Montagut Editions: Imajen, 1987)
Distributed with an undated audio cassette from Peralta Montagut. The pictures here are exactly the same as in my 1987 Derrydale edition and the French and German versions, likewise listed under 1987?. Of the sixteen ...
Once a Mouse...
(Charles Scribner's Sons, 1961)
This classic tale is well told here, with lively two-color and three-color illustrations. The endpapers of the olive edition (marked 6.70 on the reverse of the title-page) are torn. The multi-colored copy is marked 4.69.
Chiquita y Pepita: Dos ratoncitas/Chiquita and Pepita: The City Mouse and the Country Mouse.
(National Textbook Company, 1978)
This is a lively telling that takes liberties with the story. Pepita holds a party in the country for Chiquita and serves bread and cheese. They take a bus to the city. The illustrations are animated. Near-identical ...
Poniendo el cascabel al gato/Belling the cat.
(National Textbook Company, 1977)
Another delightful little book! The family discussion is done with care, and the illustrations are fun. The distinctive feature of this series is that near-identical books in Spanish and English are bound together.
The Grasshopper and the Ants
(Golden Press: Western PublishingWestern Publishing Company, 1968)
The story fills out here and is quite different from other Disney versions: Little Pig's Picnic (1939) and Walt Disney's Story Land (1962). Here the new king of the ants, Andy, saves Hop, who does not have to go through ...
El pájaro Cú/The Cú Bird
(National Textbook Company, 1987)
This story seems to be on the borders of fable. It has an aetiological slant, though it may be hard to feel invited to perceive a lesson. God runs out of feathers, and so one bird has none. Owl and the majority of birds ...
Pérez y Martina/Pérez and Martina
(National Textbook Company, 1988)
This story does not strike me as being a fable in the traditional sense. However, it is a delightful story. Martina is a beautiful ant. Many wooers come beneath her balcony: cat, duck, dog, rooster, frog, bull, pig, and ...
The Grasshopper and the Ants
(Walt Disney ProductionsWestern Publishing Company, 1968)
This booklet-plus-record from Valencia Street in San Francisco is tantalizingly similar to one already in the collection, found at Old Bank Antiques in Hastings nineteen years ago. Let me catalogue the differences. The ...
Crónica de Fabulandia: El Caballo y la Hormiga.
(Editorial Fher, 1973)
Apparently, the horse saves the grasshopper, who has been knocked out in a terrible storm. I do not think there is anything Aesopic here. An example of what the root fabu- has meant to people around the world.
