The Tortoise and the Hare
(Scholastic, 1984)
Identical with the adjacent entry except for the change in publisher. That change is also responsible for taking away the Reading Rainbow designation. Otherwise the book seems exactly the same as the Holiday House ...
Lamb Chop's Fables: The Boat Contest, Featuring Aesop's The Lion and the Mouse.
(Time-Life Books, 1993)
Part of a set (for $39.95) including a Lamb Chop puppet, wrapping paper, greeting card, Lamb Chop's Sing-Along, Play-Along cassette, and Lamb Chop's Jump into the Story videotape. The LM story fits well into the situation ...
The Ant and the Dove: An Aesop Tale Retold.
(Childrens Press, 1989)
A very nicely executed book. The colored art is crisp and lively; the designs move nicely beyond the borders of the picture. The net-preparing man wears Oshkosh coveralls. The big bite is wonderfully pictured on 25. In ...
The Lion and the Mouse.
(Doubleday, 1979)
The same book as the edition of 1979 but with a slightly different spine and title page. The illustrations here may be a bit darker. See my comments on the original.
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, ...
Aesop's Fable: The Tortoise and the Hare
(Living BooksRandom House/Broderbund Company, 1993)
See my comments on the disc itself, basis for one of the most delightful experiences I have had in a long time. This book's right-hand pages are the twelve scenes from the story with an introductory and concluding scene ...
The Wind and the Sun
(Silver Press, 1995)
It is easy to like dePaola's simple work. He follows a good version of the story that has the wind dive right in even before a formal bet: 'I will show you I am stronger,' said the wind. 'I will blow the cape from that ...
The Grasshopper and the Ants
(Silver Burdett, 1982)
A delightfully illustrated large-sized book. Almost Anno-like in its care for detail. This story can be hard to tell well. This teller has the grasshopper realize the folly of his ways at the end and resolve to act ...
Aesop's Fable: The Tortoise and the Hare
(Living BooksRandom House/Broderbund Company, 1993)
This book is almost identical with another in the collection. Perhaps it represents a later printing when it was placed in a series with other books. The front cover adds Living Books Presents in the upper left corner, ...
The Lion and the Mouse Join the Circus.
(Artcraft Paper Products, 1950)
In the same series as Goldie the Goose That Laid the Golden Egg (1950?). In slight disrepair. Another nice, simple pop-up. After the traditional story, Mister Mouse says to Lancelot: Why don't you get away from all ...
