Abstract
Helpful material for grade school teachers. The fable, with trickster and pourquoi tales, is one of three forms of animal tales. Bosma shows a good sense (41) of the figurative patterns in which children think. She recommends (80-1) that pupils above the third grade level write fables. Versions of fables which she recommends include those of Hague, Holder, and Zwerger along with Marianne Moore's translations of LaFontaine and Nardini's of Leonardo. She is also high on Janet Stevens' version of TMCM and Marcia Brown's Once a Mouse. I will have to find Nancy DeRoin's Jataka Tales: Fables from the Buddha (1975).
