The dust jacket is crisp and clean. "Here are the gods and heroes, the myths that have enthralled generations of readers. But wait! What's happened? These aren't the stories we know. When viewed through Robert Kraus's unique lens of whimsy, nothing is quite the same." "In 1954, Kraus also began writing and illustrating children's books, beginning with Junior the Spoiled Cat, The Littlest Rabbit, The Trouble with Spider (later expanded into the Spider, Fly and Ladybug series) , I, Mouse, Mouse at Sea, The Bunny's Nutshell Library, Carla Stevens' Rabbit and Skunk series, and the haunting and critically acclaimed Amanda Remembers. Kraus could speak directly to children without a trace of artificiality or condescension, naturally embodying both them and himself in a variety of small but plucky animal protagonists. The book Leo the Late Bloomer, an encouraging story about making one's own pace, is a continuing legacy.". Fine in Fine dust jacket .
