Two stories only; both Japanese?[edit]

In both Library of Congress online catalog and WorldCat, Mosel is represented only by the two stories we name. So I provided a lead description as "children's librarian who wrote the text[s] for two award-winning children's picture books illustrated by Blair Lent".

WorldCat lists some appearances in collections and also one Weston Woods animated video that includes "Tikki Tikki Tembo", The foolish frog and other stories (1972): "Four children's folk tales in iconography to full animation." LCSH: Children--folklore (OCLC 12894770). A.k.a. Strega Nona and other stories (1988): "Compilation of four previously released children's classics, originally produced in association with Weston Woods." LCSH: Magic--fiction (OCLC 671249354
--for the book article Tikki Tikki Tembo it will be good to learn whether Weston Woods animations are based on original illustrations, and to cover the video adaptation briefly.

WorldCat also lists a Weston Woods animated video that includes "Funny Little Woman", Shadow and other stories (1988). Caldecott Classics series. No LCSH or mention of folklore, etc. (OCLC 18928741). This one credits Blair Lent (and the narrators), which implies to me that the WW animation is based on the Lent illustration.

--this similarly pertains to the book article The Funny Little Woman --P64 (talk) 19:03, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I continued the lead description, "retelling traditional material". That may be a hasty inference from our article The Funny Little Woman ("set in 'Old Japan'"). Somehow we should try to convey the Japanese character of both stories. And explain whether the Old Japan setting for the second story was related to the China/Japan controversy regarding the first.
