I am an "arts & crafts" kind of person, and I tend to think, "I can do this myself - I don't need to buy such and such a product". I finally relented and starting purchasing literature and history pockets from Evan Moor and I am SO PLEASED! It really is nice to have everything in one place. Sometimes I do supplement or expand the pockets with materials I've found elsewhere, and sometimes I modify the crafts/writing assignments, and I have added a couple of extra pockets for a couple of other favorite fables.

Anyway, my kids really enjoy working on their Aesop's pocket, and seem to be internalizing the fables - there have been a couple of instances where they've heard or read something and said, "It's just like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"", etc...

I consider this money well-spent.

This review is from: Literature Pockets, Aesop's Fables, Grades 2-3 (Paperback)

I bought the Fables Lit Pockets to do homeschooling for my lower elementary school kids, and it was worth the purchase.

It had a copy of 8 fables in there, which was good, and some activities good for under 3rd grade. My kindergartners had no trouble doing them. It was nice that they tried to include a couple of the less common fables so the kids wouldn't have heard them before and would have to think a bit. Still, I was slightly disappointed that they didn't cover some of the more popular fables like "the Fox and the Crow" or "the Ant and Grasshopper." But it makes a good study for under 3rd grade, especially if you buy a couple more resources to go with it. We used Milo Winter's compilation, which also had all eight fables in it. The Aesops Coloring book by Dover, however, did not have many pictures to match these 8.

It includes:
Boy Who Cried Wolf
Lion and the Mouse
Fox and Stork
Fox and Goat
Tortoise and Hare
Cat, Rooster, and Mouse
Miller, Son, and His Donkey
Milkmaid and Her Pail
