Abstract
The title-fable is a strong opener: after many had turned down the goat who wanted to butt heads, the dog simply bit him in the leg and said that that was what he wanted to do! I like these stories. They are pithy and unpredictable and often involve a category leap. When the ram gave his daughter in marriage to a tiger, other animals remonstrated with him, saying The Tiger will tear her to pieces! 'You don't know my daughter,' the Ram said serenely. Other good examples include Foolish Questions, The Python and the Heron, and Cherries in Brandy. Brown-and-white and several-color illustrations alternate. The best is that of a slinky young deer in The Fox Who Was Not Up To Date. This book was formerly owned by the San Bernadino Country Library.
