Abstract
This is a large format booklet of 26 pages on heavy paper stock. It offers ten stories: LM, BS, GA, TH, DS, CP, “Boys and Frogs,” “Crab and Mother,” MM, and BC. The art is large, simple, playful: apt for preschoolers. The texts, as though typewritten, might use some words unfamiliar to preschoolers, like the “toils” of a hunter’s net or the grasshopper’s “fiddle.” I suspect that the texts, including their morals, were taken from some classic source. The tortoise wears glasses. The dog in DS has a good greed statement: “I need that bigger bone.” The moral for TH, which in its narrative speaks of “going slowly but steadily” is “The race is not always to the swift.” Will preschoolers understand that statement?
