Kompas Gramedia: Aku Bisa Jadi Pintar

2020/24    Kura-Kura Bisa Cepat.  Aan Wulandari U.  Illustrations by Indra Bayu.  Fifth printing.  Pamphlet.  Jakarta: Seri Aku Bisa Jadi Pintar: Kompas Gramedia.  $10 brought back from Indonesia by Stefanus Hendrianto, S.J., Jan., ‘25.

This two-staple pamphlet, about 9½” x 7¾”, offers "Turtles Can Be Fast "on 32 pages.  This story involves a rabbit but only as a contrast to the turtle’s slowness in getting home.  Efforts to speed up seem only to tire the turtle.  Then he gets help from a bear to arrive home.  The booklet is remarkable for its minimal text.  The full-page illustrations are simple.  This series also includes “Patience, Little Giraffe” in our collection and “Ant Row,” not in our collection.  The series title translates "I can be smart."

2020/24    Sabar, Jerapah Kecil.  Aan Wulandari U.  Illustrations by Indra Bayu. Fifth printing.  Pamphlet.  Jakarta: Seri Aku Bisa Jadi Pintar: Kompas Gramedia.  $10 brought back from Indonesia by Stefanus Hendrianto, S.J., Jan., ‘25.

This two-staple pamphlet, about 9½” x 7¾”, offers "Patience, Little Giraffe" on 32 pages.  This story involves a little giraffe who gets frustrated when the low-hanging leaves have all been eaten.  The first resolution of the story is like CP: mother advises to find a smaller tree.  The second resolution is that, when they do find a smaller tree, the mother has to bend down!  The full-page illustrations are simple.  The little giraffe and some others wear bow ties.  This series also includes “Turtles Can Be Fast” in our collection and “Ant Row,” not in our collection.  The series title translates "I can be smart."
