- Abstract
- en_US This is a classroom workbook for language arts work with adolescents. It seems intended for junior and senior high school students. The section given to fables is brief but well done. There is a short introduction to fable and Aesop, followed by three well told fables: The Two Frogs, SW, and LS (74-5). The last of these chooses a jackal, a fox, and a wolf as associates of the lion in their partnership. The following page introduces the concept of writing not to inform or to persuade, but only to entertain. It then offers a delightful story, The Unhappy Lovers, with the moral: Leap twice before you think! The book moves on next (77) to Fable Figures to discuss simile, metaphor, and personification, and we are back into a more general discussion with no particular focus on fables. This book looks like fun!
