Abstract
-
en_US
I include this book in the collection not because I think The Little Seed should be viewed as a fable but because this volume is part of a series that is labeled Famous Fables. This twenty-page children's picture book extends onto its back endpaper with tips for parents, including strategies, discussion questions, and activities that grow out of the story. The Little Seed is new to me. An aging monkey king has no children and wants to name his successor as king. He decides to take one of the children. Which one? He gives them all a test: to plant and nurture for six months a seed which he gives them and then to return and show him the results. Amina the elephant child is so disappointed when her seed does not grow, but at her mother's urging she brings the pot before the king when all the other children bring their brilliant flowers. It turns out that the king had boiled all the seeds. Only Amina was honest about her seed. All the others substituted other seeds when the king's seed did not sprout. This is a clever story!
