Rover and Coo Coo is a story in the traditional style of story telling, a story that was told to generations of the Hay family around an open fire in winter or on an open porch in summer. It takes place when Indiana was a frontier, and Charles Hay left his family in their log cabin and went to the distant mill to have his corn ground. The adventure takes place in the dark forest with a chase by hungry wolves, and Charles' faithful hounds saving the day. There are beautiful and clear descriptions of the surroundings in those pristine times. The illustrations of the highly acclaimed artist, Tim Soliday, bring it all alive. In the end Charles is safe with his wife and two small children, and he speaks of nature and how all creatures have a place in the larger picture of the oneness of the world.

Hardcover. NY, Dover Publications, reprint, 2018, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 48 pages illustrated in color by Gorey. A new approach to the ancient fables of Aesop features charming rhymes and winsome images by a beloved illustrator. Artist Edward Gorey sets the scenes for poet Ennis Rees's modern interpretation of Aesop's verses, which recount how animals with all-too-human failings receive their just desserts. Memorable renderings of familiar and lesser-known vignettes include the fable of the industrious ant, who prepares for the hardships of the coming winter, and the feckless grasshopper, whose laziness proves fatal. A mighty lion is amused at the notion of a tiny mouse coming to his rescue, a naive young crustacean admires the bright red shell of a boiled lobster, and a swarm of flies are undone by their attraction to a pool of spilled honey. These and other timeless tales provide humorous insights into the folly of greed and vanity and the rewards of virtuous behavior. Originally published in 1971 by Young Scott.
