Abstract
Everything about this book is big and lively. 11¼" square with a CD in the center of its cover. The selection of fables suggests which fables are best known these days. Each two-page narratives is in prose with several scenes from the fable worked into the design of the two-page spread. There are several creative elements interpreting the fables. Thus the heron is blue by the time he settles in after his hungry day. The tortoise in TH turns back to us at the finish line, in sunglasses and sun hat, and flashes us the victory sign. In OF, it seems that three frogs are blowing themselves up. The narrative focuses on one, who is happy that her ploy is working. She is getting bigger, until…. The grasshopper singer is decked out in fir and sandals and plays the cymbals while she sings.. The CD offers a good, fast, lively recitation with good animal sound effects. This is a good French Canadian contribution to the collection!
