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 Donkey and the Lapdog
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-page centerfold showing the dog in the master's lap and the donkey looking in enviously through the window. In ...
The Farmer and His Sons
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-size picture at the centerfold: the boys run to the field, each with a different dream of treasure pictured in ...
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 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 ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(Ginn and Company, 1988)
This is a sympathetic and engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's great work with facial expressions starts here with the title-page. This lion is not happy with this mouse! Pique shifts to wonder to ...
The Eagle and the Man
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is a well-worn but sympathetic and engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. I love Biro's illustrations. The best feature of them here, I believe, lies in the eagle's facial expressions. He is frustrated in ...
The Fox and the Crow
(Ginn and Company Ltd, 1983)
This is a well-worn but sympathetic and engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. I love Biro's illustrations. The fox here is like an outfielder making a diving catch of the cheese which the crow has let fall. ...
Never Cry Wolf!: A Fable Retold
(Sunflower Press, 1987)
A lovely little book, printed as well as told and illustrated by Cunningham. This miniature book is a good example of strategic repetition and variation. It looks like the same illustration is used for all three pages ...
