Abstract
-
en_US
My investigation of this book suggests that its twelve stories are more folklore than fable, even though they are brief. Each story is given a home country. The first may be the closest to a traditional fable: Tío Zorro from Colombia. Rooster leaves hen at home alone with some trepidation, but he must go shopping. He tells her to be careful. Uncle Fox shows up and says to hen that she should not be alone. He will accompany her. Soon he tells her she is pretty and asks to kiss her. But he does not kiss brides without eating…. Rooster comes home suddenly, sees Uncle Fox and threatens to kill him. Soon Rooster is pursuing Uncle Fox through the whole woods, over mountains and across prairies. Uncle Fox gets into a hole and hides. He then quickly disguises himself by covering himself with honey and feathers. Rooster comes by and asks this bird if he has seen a fox. Uncle Fox points to a hole and then uses a big rock to cover it with Rooster inside. Then Uncle Fox returns to the hen. What happens next? Well, Uncle Fox certainly was hungry…. There are lots of vocabulary-help pictures, and various questions: some to talk through with fellow students, some with the teacher, and some to answer alone.
