Teaching Ideas: |
Teachers will have to present this story carefully, providing a context for the appreciation of fantasy and tales. Students may want to discuss whether life's lessons are easier to learn through stories and study the function of this and other tales. The superior illustrations and subject matter might be the foundation for discussions on why this moving story is more appropriate for adults than children. Teachers may want to introduce symbolism.
