El Cuervo y la Zorra
(Ediciones A. Saldaña, 1999)
"Once again, things come together from different times and places. In Salamanca in 1986, I found a simple pop-up from a publisher I did not know. Sixteen years later I found a French die-cut presentation of LM done by ...
Andy and the Lion
(Trumpet Club, 1938)
Here is a smaller paperback edition than the Viking Penguin Puffin printed in 1989. The pages seem to be proportionally reduced. See my comments there.
Foolish Miss Crow
(Delacorte Press: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, 1989)
Advertised on the back cover as containing delightful twists of Æsop's Tales. Here the fox lures the crow not with flattery but with clothes, and the prize is not cheese but the crow herself. Firmin has fun away from the ...
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, ...
Town Mouse/Country Mouse
(G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1994)
I love this book! It is lavishly and carefully done. Do not miss the silks and jewels in the city and the woven patterns frequent in the country (even those depicted on the book's cover underneath the dust jacket). The ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(The Wright Group, 1988)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. This booklet has only eight pages, while most others in this series have sixteen. I have been fortunate to find the whole set of #13-18 on eBay. Biro's style remains engaging. ...
The Monkey and the Fishermen
(The Wright Group, 1988)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. Sixteen pages. I have been fortunate to find the whole set of #13-18 on eBay. Biro's style remains engaging. This version of the story tells of the monkey who wanted to catch fish ...
The Fox and the Stork
(The Wright Group, 1988)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. Sixteen pages. I have been fortunate to find the whole set of #13-18 on eBay. Biro's style remains engaging. Clouds of steam arising from the delicious food are important in this ...
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 ...
Turtle and Rabbit
(Follett, 1981)
A lively kids' book with Turtle and Rabbit as friends in jogging outfits. I would like to use at least one illustration in a slide lecture. Both joggers are female. The last lines are This will make a great story ...
