Children's Treasury of Moral Stories 2

Abstract

This 16-page large-format pamphlet is the second of six volumes. Each page contains one fable with a colored illustration, with a moral given in a colored banner across the bottom of the page. There is a T of C on the inside front cover. This volume does a good job of text and illustration for The Farmer and His Sons (7). It also handles well the difficult situation in The Mouse, the Frog and the Hawk (13). It notes that these two friends were not really suited, and it does not speak to the frog's part in the mouse's drowning. The coloring of the illustrations is often garish. Good examples here are on 2 and 9. The last page creates a word that is new to me when its moral proclaims To Thine Ownself, Be True.
