Abstract
This book is exactly identical with the pamphlet version of the same year, title, and publisher. I do not know whether the Perma-Bound hard cover comes from the publisher or perhaps from some librarian. In any case, the cover is now upside-down and backwards. That is, one opens the book to a blank upside-down last page. I will repeat my comments here from the pamphlet version. Very pleasant little sideways booklet. The series' purpose is to learn by having fun. The presentation and version both help to that end. The figures are lively. The best may be 14's image of the cricket washing clothes with two hands and using a third hand to pick up another dirty garment. The text uses repetition effectively. The version moves into new and surprising developments: the cricket learns to work as the ant's servant; the ant sings through winter while the cricket works; in spring, the cricket goes out collecting like an ant! Even the page numbers are cleverly spelled out in French.
