Abstract
This booklet has a good deal of text to get into its five double-pages and does it well. The turning point for La Fontaine is Perrette's leaping like the calf she will have. The central page depicts well her disappointment as she holds her hands on her head where the milk had been, cats lick it up, and her husband looks on angrily in the distance. The following picture then depicts the dream world we might well live in. Perrette, it seems to me, is cleverly the dream woman in a harem waiting for the dreamer. The last picture returns to the real Perrette, troubled with her broken milk can at her feet and her hands on her hips. The back cover of each booklet not only presents others in the series. It gives a synopsis of a good deal of the story, perhaps to help parents remember what goes on in the fable, without revealing the ending.
