Enter Aesop's imaginative and wacky world of Brave MICE SLY FOXES and Proud PEACOCKS. Follow the adventures of the grateful LION who repays a debt, a slow andsteady TORTOISE who wins the race and a very lazy GRASSHOPPER whofinally gets his comeuppance. Aesop's Fables On Stage is a collection of delightful, fantastic fables that have been adapted into children's plays. The scripts can be used as performance plays, readers' theatre or just read for pure enjoyment.
The book has quite few nice plays for children to do. The plays stick close to the original but contain enough parts for quite a few children. It is nicely done.
The complexity yet innocence found within a children's book will always amaze me. This read was quick and easy, but utterly powerful at the same time. I love reading to my children, especially when it's something meaningful and worthwhile.
