Richard Scarry's Best Story Book Ever
No full textIncludes FC, TMCM, and DS, all told by Patricia Scarry. Compare with Country Mouse and City Mouse (1961) and My Nursery Tale Book (1961). A few illustrations are dropped (but not always the same ones that are dropped for My Nursery Tale Book). Do not miss the T of C picture of the rabbit reading the Daily Carrot with the headline Tortoise Wins Race --even though this story is not in this book!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Variou

Ding Dong Bücher
No full textTranslated from the American "The Fables of La Fontaine" (1963). Of course I wonder where the "Weitere" comes in. Here 17 of the 31 fables there are presented. We have in our collection a fuller rendition in German about 1963 of the American book from 1963. That German version, simply "Fabeln von La Fontaine" was longer and included both colored and black-and-white illustrations. It was done by Kinderbuchverlag. The title-page parade of characters here is just the first of Scarry's charming illustrations! A particularly lively presentation among many is that of the wolf running away from the dog and his collar. This is the kind of unpaginated children's book in which the title-page and the last story's last page are pasted to the inside of the covers.Language note: German2.

My Nursery Tale Book
No full textThis is my earliest version of this book. I have two other copies printed in 1970 and 1972. All three of these stem from the 1961 copyright. Earlier copyrights were in 1949 and 1954. This copy differs from the 1970 printing by using the blue page facing the title-page as a paste-down inside front cover. The same is true in the back of the book. Thus two nice illustrations are not included, as they are on the first page facing the blank inside cover and the corresponding last page facing the blank inside back cover: Pierre Bear reading a book (excerpted from the front cover's picture and the first picture in "Pierre Bear") and Duck sleeping in bed. As I wrote on the 1970 version, TMCM told by Patsy Scarry has a quaint flapper city mouse in its water colors. The picture of the cat discovering the two mice may be the best. This story adds a vacuum cleaner! The picture on the back cover has a dog never mentioned in the story! FC by the same author adds an elephant and a tiger to its cast of characters. Overall, I continue to believe that there is little special here for the lover of new and different understandings of fables. Inscribed in 1966.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)1964 printingPatsy Scarry et a

No full textHere is the German translation of a favorite old kids' book. A Little Golden Books morphs here into a Happy Buch. Amazon says that the 1961 copyright from Golden applies here as well. Generally, the division of text and image in the Golden original makes it easy to drop in the German text. I am surprised that it took me this long to find this book. And then I found it in Vienna!Patricia Scarry, nach Aesop; übersetzt von L. Juliu
Fifibiblioteket #20
No full textThis work is a Swedish version of The Fables of La Fontaine published in 1963 by Doubleday. This book has about half the pages of that book. However, by contrast with it, this edition has only colored pages, while that offered a number of pictures only in black-and-white. This edition has no T of C. The last page is in fact the inside back-cover. The best illustrations are the two for FS near the end of the book. The editors were wise to use it again on the front cover. How nice to run into an old friend in a new language while I was travelling through Scandinavia! Fler fabler as the title for this #20 in the series led me to notice that #10 in the same series is already a book of La Fontaine's fables; this is more fables. That #10 is something I can search for my next time in Scandinavia! It was not easy for me to figure out whether this book was in Swedish or Danish, especially because it was published by a Danish publisher in Copenhagen.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Language note: SwedishArrangerade och illustrerade av Richard Scarry; Oversatta av Bo Halvarso
Les Petits Livres d'Argent
No full textWhat we have here is the fairytales Three Billy Goats Gruff and The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats. Only the cover has the word Fables at all. The series is like Western's Little Golden Books. This sixteen-page pamphlet, 6 x 7½, is published in conjunction with Western Publishing Company, Inc., Racine.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchLa Fontain
Fabeln von La Fontaine
No full textThis work is a German version of The Fables of La Fontaine published in 1963 by Doubleday. The pages listed there in the T of C are four numbers higher than those here; that is 4-56 here corresponds basically to 8-60 there. I write basically for two reasons. First, the last three stories are different in order here from there. There The Donkey and the Lapdog was followed by FWT and The Old Man and His Three Sons. Here The Old Man and His Three Sons is followed by FWT and The Donkey and the Lapdog. Also, the rebus T of C pages there are colored, while here they are in black-and-white. A standard binding there yields to a canvas binding here. A curiosity of this book is that it was allowed to be sold only in the German Democratic Republic. As I wrote of the English version, I had searched for ten years and never had this book in my hand. Experts in children's books did not even know that Scarry had done a LaFontaine book. Thirty-one fables, some with colored and some with black-and-white illustrations in Scarry's typical style. The best illustrations are for The Mice in Council (14-15), The Wolf and the Stork (16-17), The Wolf and the Fox (32-33), and DLS (50-51). Cuteness takes over in The Lion and the Troops illustration (18-19). The German does away with the morals stated at the end of the fables.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanErste auflageRichard Scarry; Nacherzählt von Karl-Heinz Berge

No full textWe have forms of this little book in both English and German, the former from 1961, renewed in 1982, and the latter in 1961. The curious thing is that both of those publications offer three stories, including not only TMCM and DS but also FC. FC is not part of this 16-page book otherwise in the same format as those books. The illustrations here are taken straight from the original. This 1982 version recognizes a Deux Coqs d'Or copyright of 1962.Language note: FrenchP(atricia) Scarr
