(New York: Harper and Row, 1980).

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. Item #22384

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.
