The Tortoise or the Hare
(Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2010)
About seven years earlier, Toni and Slade Morrison did three books of fables for Scribner's, all beginning with the question Who's Got Game? Their artist in all three of those was Pascal LeMaitre. Now here is a new ...
Rabbit and Turtle Go to School/Conejo y Tortuga van a la escuela
(Sandpiper: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2010)
This is a fine reader for little kids beginning their reading of stories. Rabbit goes by foot, while Turtle takes the bus. Rabbit's big mistake is stopping for a snack along the way, perhaps because he sees that the bus ...
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is a 32-page adaptation of BW. Will Meugniot is, if anything, more expressive than the others working in this series. Typical of him are the huge number of sheep on 4-5 and the ...
The Tortoise and the Hare
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is a 32-page adaptation of TH. The hare here is rather human and certainly aggressive. You're the slowest thing I've ever seen! he says to the tortoise. You shouldn't make fun ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
Here is an extra copy of this book. This is a 32-page adaptation of LM. This version is unusual in that the bored mouse sees the sleeping lion. In many versions he has no idea that he is running over a lion. The mouse ...
Le Soleil et le Vent: Une Fable d'Ésope
(Albums Circonflexe, 2010)
I knew this book from its origin, The Contest Between the Sun and the Wind: An Aesop's Fable published by August House in 2008. Like its original, this French version follows the correct version of the fable. Forest tells ...
El Perro y la Liebre
(Ediciones Libertador, R.P. Centro Editor de Cultura, 2010)
Here is a lively eight-page presentation of an Aesopic fable less often told. The basic story line is that a rabbit outruns a hunting dog because one is running for his life while the other is running only for his food. ...
La Música de los Animales
(Latin Books International: Cultural Librera Americana, 2010)
"Basada en la fábula de Tomás de Iriarte." This set of twelve-page pamphlets has a huge format of almost 11" x almost 15". There are ten pamphlets in the series. I have found five so far. This member of the series is ...
The Fox and the Hare: Russian Folktale
(Rovakada Publishing, 2010)
This is a borderline member of a fable collection. I was attracted by the book, and it is a local Bay Area product. It represents a simple story of a hare's house taken over by a fox. She had lived in a Crystal Palace ...
The Hawk and the Crow (Chinese)
(Human Cultural Enterprise Co., 2010)
This is a very pleasing series of twelve 12-page pamphlets of unusual proportions, namely just under 10 inches square. The two-page spreads here are again dramatic, from the time that the crow sees the hawk swoop down ...
