The Sick Lion
(The Wright Group, 1990)
Another nicely conceived work by Biro. Sixteen pages. This -- #16 -- is the only copy I have from the latest series, 13-18. The tired lion here wears a sport jacket, vest, and tie. Deciding to look sick, he puts on ...
The Blind Men and the Elephant: John Godfrey Saxe's version of the famous Indian legend.
(Whittlesey House; McGraw-Hill, 1963)
This sideways book presents the story very nicely. I still cannot say whether the story should be reckoned as a fable. Saxe's verse and Galdone's alternating black-and-white and several-color illustrations present it ...
The Tortoise and the Hare
(Holiday House, 1984)
Slightly larger than the identical hardbound copy from the Weekly Reader Children's Book Club.
The Donkey and the Lapdog
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 11 in the series. I am doing what I can to find the full set of these eighteen pamphlets. Biro's work is always lively, and this is a fine sixteen-page presentation. Biro is particularly good at giving this donkey ...
The Blue Jackal
(Charles Scribner's Sons, 1977)
The text used here is adapted from The Panchatantra, translated by Arthur W. Ryder. A lovely book with lovely color work! Brown follows Ryder (122) carefully except for the ending which she softens: her blue jackal makes ...
The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 3 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 2 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
The Mice That Ate Iron
(Albert Whitman & Company, 1963)
It was expensive to get this book! But it helps fill out the series that Katherine Evans developed. This is her seventh different Aesop title that I have. It is in excellent condition. In this cleverly worked version, ...
The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey
(Albert Whitman & CompanyAlbert Whitman & Comapny, 1958)
A red cloth cover has the title and images of a donkey and a boy. As elsewhere in her Whitman books, Katherine Evans uses a crayon-like style, alternating black-and-white and colored spreads. Young Peter is the first to ...
One Good Deed Deserves Another
(Albert Whitman & Company, 1964)
A green cloth cover has the title and images of a mother and child. As elsewhere in her Whitman books, Katherine Evans uses a crayon-like style, alternating black-and-white and colored spreads. A Hispanic family of three ...
