Author: Sponsored by the Asian Cultural Centre for Unesco
Summary: This book contains eight folktales from eight different Asian countries such as Korea, Singapore and Thailand. Each story is retold by an author and is accompanied by pictures. The stories range in their theme, morals and topics. The first folktale is called "The Crow and the Sparrow" and is about a Crow who tries to trick the Sparrow though, by the end of the story, the Crow is the one who ends up dead.
Lesson: For this book, I would read the story "The Crow and the Sparrow" and have children create a comic to retell the folktale. They would have to be able to draw and describe what happened in the folktale and in what order. I would also get the students to write on the first block of their comic the title, major characters, and moral and theme.
