The Ass in the Pond
(Ginn and Company Ltd., 1984)
Here is a engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. It tells the story directly and even sparsely. Do not miss the smile on the ass's face on 5 when he has lost most of his salt. Then notice his chagrined look on ...
The Ass in the Pond
(Ginn and Company Ltd., 1984)
This booklet is identical with a third impression found earlier. This has no such marking, and so I presume that it is a first impression. Let me repeat some of my comments from there. This is an engaging eight-page ...
The Man, His Son, and the Ass
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Two things are of note in this delightful rendition of the traditional story. First, the upside-down expression of the ass being carried on the pole is worth ...
The Ducks and the Tortoise
(Ginn and Company Ltd, 1984)
This is an engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. The tortoise's downfall here comes when he says to the amazed people Look, I can fly! The only report of what happened next is: Thump! Now I have found five of ...
The Donkey and the Lapdog
(Ginn and Company, 1984)

(Ginn and Company, 1984)

Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables
(Gallery BooksSmith Publishers, 1986)
One of the best renditions I have seen lately. The pictures are excellent, well produced, and witty. Some stories besides SW miss, as when the dolphin does not use a proper name with the monkey. Some are softened: the ...
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 ...
Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables
(Joshua Morris PublishingWishing Well Books, 1986)
This book seems an exact reproduction of one done in the same year by Gallery Books of Smith Publishers of NY. That book was printed in Hong Kong. This book is in the series Wishing Well Books by Joshua Morris Publishing ...
The Boy and the Lion
(Ginn and Company, 1983)
This is a well-worn but sympathetic and engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. I love Biro's illustrations. The boy in this booklet is indeed a boy, vaguely African with a cap and a tattered long shirt that ...
