Abstract
This oversized paperback book of 32 pages recognizes, on its back cover, Thistle's earlier Dramatizing Aesop's Fables: Creative Scripts for the Elementary Classroom, published by Dale Seymour in 1993. This book's subtitle is important: this book tells young actors what to say and what to do. Trees are asked to sway, the lion is asked to lick up water from a pond, and the hunter sneaks up on the lion, saying all the time Sneak, sneak! In fact, this version has the hunter close enough to have to flee when the mouse frees the lion. The artist for this single-fable book has changed. There are plenty of questions to discuss after the performance. Thistle here again does what she did there: she makes this fable work well as a story to act out.
