Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper and Row, 1980. Early printing. With full page color illustrations by Lobel throughout. Thin 4to, publisher’s original blue cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine. In the pictorial dustjacket. 40. A very good and attractive copy, bright and clean, minor wear and aging to the jacket and a bit of very light mellowing to the board edges. A Caldecott Medal winner, beautifully illustrated and charmingly told by the author.
“A pig flying through marshmallow clouds to a marzipan moon? A camel pirouetting through the desert? A wolf who looks suspiciously like an apple tree - or is it the other way around? A bear in a frying-pan hat and paper-bag boots?
“Where can a reader -child or adult - find such marvelous things but in a fable? Arnold Lobel, creator of Frog and Toad, has given us his own funny and true fables. Each with a fresh and unexpected moral. Each accompanied by an illustration of glowing color and rich detail.”-Publisher.
