The Bee and Jupiter
(Picasshaw Press, 1993)
A beautiful little treasure! A single sheet of fine paper is folded twice to create eight uncut pages, four of which are used for this fable. Besides black text there are gold images on the title page of a bee hive and ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Troll Associates, 1981)
A lively book. The two animals live together. The tortoise has great facial expressions. A great deal of time is spent before we ever get to the idea of a race. Perhaps the best illustration is the centerfold of the ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(Troll Associates, 1981)
The watercolor illustrations are enjoyable. The best may be the one in which the lion grasps the mouse. This version stretches out the story a bit.
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, ...
The Wind and the Sun
(Ginn, 1972)
A nice little book that tells the story well. De Paola's cloudy wind is especially imaginative.
Feed Me! An Aesop Fable
(Bantam BooksBantam Doubleday Dell, 1992)
See The Boy Who Cried Wolf (1995) and The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse (1994) in the same series. This booklet presents The Mother Lark, Her Children, and the Farmer in lively fashion. Though the story runs longer ...
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 Miller, His Son and Their Donkey
(Distributed in the U.S. by Holt Rinehart, and Winston,North-South Books, 1984)
See my comments on the identical hardbound version. Both paperbacks are less then perfect: the Berkeley copy has a slightly bent cover, and the Worcester copy has a scuffed back cover and corners.
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.
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 ...
