Abstract

en_US I have hesitated to include this book, but I at last decide for inclusion because it represents yet another concrete response to and use of fables. Here stories, including some fables, are the springboards for learning proverbs, vocabulary, and spelling. Thirty-six sections are given proverbial titles on the beginning T of C. The fables included here are TH (3), The Monkey's Heart (111), The Crocodile-Rock (116), The Lion and the Small Beasts (and the reflection in the well, 136), The Monkey and the Glasses (141), The Frightened Squirrel (and the end of the world, 145), The Animal Band (Quartet, 153), and The Man and the Turtle (159). This last is the Brer Rabbit story in which the turtle ends up pleading not to be thrown into the river. There are some good developments to the Kalila & Dimna story of The Lion and the Rabbit. In particular, the rabbit brings the news from the lion to the animals that he has decided on a new hunting-and-eating plan, and the animals unanimously vote for him as the first victim. Missing pages include 3-4, 9-10, 13-14, 19-22, 61-62, 79-80, 113-14, 117-18, and 143-44.
