Abstract
Here is a book in series with another that I have already, Les Fables de La Fontaine pour réfléchir, published one year earlier by the same company. Like that book, this book is fun! The drawing for DLS has a frightened lamb on one side of the donkey but a fox pulling off the lion-skin on the other (8). Here each of twenty-six Aesopic fables gets two pages, as is indicated in the T of C on 4-5. The first page presents the text and a humorous half-page colored illustration of the fable. In The Old Lion and the Fox, for example, the fox stands outside the open mouth of a lion embedded in a mountain and surveys the bones and skeletons strewn about in front of this portal. The second page presents a case under the title Par exemple, followed by a complicating comment Oui, mais… Last come a conclusion and a verbal game. Mazzari's illustrations are delightful! Good examples are SW (18); the farmer lighting the fox's tail on fire (24); The Rabbits and the Frogs (32); The Dove and the Ant (52); and The Tortoise and the Eagle (56). This is again great imaginative work!
