Abstract
-
en_US
This large-format paperbound book, meant for the first through the fourth grades, does a good job of presenting a significant and well-chosen body of material. After some good tips on how to teach the material and involve students, there are four sections on trickster tales, fables, why stories and legends, and fairy tales. Twenty-four tales are told in all, and the author stresses that the categories allow for overlap. There are six fables in the fable section on 35-53 (BC, LM, MM, BW from Aesop and The Fox and the Drum and TT from India) and one in the trickster section, Hare Tricks Lion (18). The latter is told somewhat differently: Little Hare volunteered first and destroyed Lion in a river that day. Lion never agreed to a contract. The mouse in LM ran right over the lion's nose but explained that she was looking for seeds for her hungry children. The talkative tortoise simply fell to Earth.
