An Aesop Adventure

Title: An Aesop Adventure
Description: 2005 An Aesop Adventure. For use with a booklet of the same name, featuring "Fables, Songs and Activities for the Elementary Classroom." By Cristi Cary Miller and Sally Raymond. Hal Leonard Corporation. $5 from an unknown source, Sept., '10.

Here are lively musical tracks, both vocal and purely instrumental, to accompany each of the booklet's eight fables. For example, the song for "The Farmer and the Stork" stresses that bad company will hurt a person. FG gets the repeated refrain "Hey, what do you say? He didn't want it anyway." This music is certainly upbeat! The purely instrumental version of each would allow the students to sing to musical accompaniment. The musical titles, listed on the CD, help communicate these lessons well. "Nobody Believes a Liar" and "One Step at a Time" are good examples. At first I listened to this disc without reference to its booklet and without seeing these titles, and I sometimes had to wonder which fable might be involved.
