Abstract
Four of the six stories listed on the cover of this large-format (9¼ x 12) book are traditional Aesopic fables: TMCM, TH, LM, and GA. Aesop is credited as the author of the first three. The mice of TMCM are dressed and drive cars. For the hare in TH, eating along the way leads to a siesta. The moral is announced by the tortoise to the hare: Sois donc moins présomptueux à l avenir. The rat in LM is out hunting butterflies. He plants a butterfly-net with vigor on the lion's nose. When he asks for pity, he mentions his short-sightedness. GA is attributed to La Fontaine. This grasshopper complains constantly; his invitations to the ants seem to turn to derision of them. The other two stories are Anderson's Ugly Duckling and Bamberger's The Three Little Pigs. The colored illustrations are lively and tasteful. Many cover a whole page, while others are integrated around text.
