Two Moral Tales: Just a Pig at Heart & Sly Fox's Folly

Two Moral Tales, written and illustrated by Mercer Mayer, is an interesting storybook. Not only is this book wordless, but there are two stories within the one book. The stories are quite literally back to back, and upside down relative to one another. The stories themselves are valuable in moral , but overly simple and dated. The first story is about a sly fox who sells a couple of ladies some live fashion accessories that fly away, the end is that the fox is punished and karma is served. The second story is a literal interpretation of the saying "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it will still be a pig". Literally two pigs get dressed up and fancy for a romp in the mud. Like I said, good morals, but very literal in illustration and with no further use of imagination beyond construction. Good for the illustrations.
