El león y el mosquito: Fábula de Esopo

Abstract

"Here is one of three books in a series that includes "manualidades" -- handicrafts -- and a scissors on the cover of each book. The "handicraft" consists in fashioning a representation of each of the characters. This version of "The Lion and the Mosquito" leaves out the usual second phase of the story, in which the victorious but arrogant mosquito flies right into a spider's web! All the creatures of the forest try to give King Lion a sense of not lording it over others. The mosquito, among the smallest creatures in the forest, takes him on. The challenge of the mosquito makes the lion laugh, but the last illustration shows the bandaged nose that the lion gets for his trouble. The two characters are among the more complicated to construct in this series of books."
