Abstract
This is an 8½ x 11 resource booklet for primary students. The heart of the book is nine scripts. There is a good traditional script for TH (41). The teaching strategies after it include a good short bibliography of six versions of Aesop's fables. There are also five masks for the characters involved in this reader's theater. The Lion's Share (71) has two phases. In the first, the lion gives to his hyena partners only one of the many guinea hens which they had caught together. In the second, the hyenas' father comes to upbraid the lion and ends up giving him even the one guinea hen that he had allowed them! The Rabbit and the Turtle (83) is built on the pattern of The Hare and the Hedgehog. As the rabbit gets to the top of each ridge, he sees the turtle just going over the next ridge. Of course, these are different turtles. Hilltops provide a good way to tell this story, which usually works with multiple rows in a field. One activity frequently suggested here for the classroom is multi-cultural food from the places of stories or involving foods mentioned in the stories.
