Abstract
This book is noteworthy for its thick, cushioned covers. A person holding the book can see through the heavy front cover to a mysterious clock. Turned one way, the clock shows 8:00; turned another, the clock's face winks and shows 8:03. There are twenty traditional stories. Among them are LM (140) and TH (148). The former is adapted by Sarah Toast and illustrated by Krista Brauckmann-Towns. The first illustration shows a wonderfully peeved lion. The mouse was picking berries and thought that she was climbing a rock. She actually gets away when the lion chases her but is soon too exhausted to run further. In this version, the lion laughs so hard at the mouse's offer of future help that he rolls on his back and almost crushes her. He goes off immediately to seek food and falls into the trap. His reward to the mouse for being freed is to carry her back on his head so that she can pick a great berry. The mouse offers to pick some berries for the lion too for a picnic that they can have together. TH is adapted by David Presser and illustrated by Viviana Diaz. Hare thinks after a fast start that he will rest until tortoise comes along. After eating, he supposes that there is no harm in taking a little nap. Tortoise enjoys the whole race and greets friends as he goes along.
