Abstract
A lovely and whimsical book, begun and finished with pictures of animals entering and leaving the ark. The contents include a surprising number of witty verse pieces by the author himself. There are five Aesop's fables in King-Smith's own words, each with an illustration (TMCM has three) and with fresh morals. The moral of TMCM is, for example, Be satisfied with what you've got; trying for better things may leave you worse off in the end (15). TB has fat and thin men (67). The Donkey, the Ape, and the Mole (77) is new to me as an Aesopic fable.
