A fantastic resource for language teachers using popular, classic tales

Each book in this series contains a simplified version of a classic tale in English, French, or Spanish; a play script with easy dialogue; several pieces of scenery; and 16 story characters to color in and cut out. The whole book turns into a table-top theater so children can enjoy putting on the play as they practice their language skills. Notes for teachers are given in English, as are instructions throughout.
