"I just wanted to let you know that Aesop's Fables Deluxe was very successful! You are absolutely correct that this is great for word building, phonological awareness and language. I have 12 English Language learners (levels 2 and 3) in my class of second graders. They were ALL highly successful. I appreciate your creativity and talent and your ability to make it accessible for the general classroom teacher."

"What an absolute delight! It brought out the musical side of my students and they had a lot of fun. I could hear the musical gifts of many of the students as well as see how the play connected with many of our district's standards. It was a way of differentiating instruction which was fantastic. I will use your wonderful plays throughout the new school year! Thanks for creating this treasure."

"We used some of the songs which the children loved. They will remember doing this play for years---each child had an opportunity to shine in his or her own way."

---Barbara Pohlman, Teacher (1st grade), Incarnation Elementary, Collierville, TN

"There are parts for lots of children, catchy tunes, and it was easily adaptable to fit our needs...There are so many children who have the chance to shine in a way that isn't always obvious in the classroom. I have had students 'discover' that they have so much talent in the singing/acting curriculum."

---Karen Beisee, Teacher (1st-2nd grades), Evergreen School, Eugene, OR

"I liked that it was so adaptable to our needs. The music was fabulous. I would tell a teacher who has never done a play to invest in one of yours. It is well worth it. Ya'll did a great job!"

"Thank you again for providing the materials that work beautifully with my students. If you eliminated any one of the ingredients (humor, song, CDs, accessible language, illustrations, staging suggestions, familiar themes, age-appropriate language, et al.), we could never have enjoyed such success. The children and I are grateful."

---Maggie O'Hara, Teacher, Del Rey School, King City, CA

"This play was a true success when performed by my second grade class and their 6th grade 'Discovery Buddies.' The students worked together to perform the play for the entire school and enjoyed every minute of it. We combined this play with a unit study of fables in second grade and were able to add some fables of our own to the play. The songs and the messages behind the fables were understood and enjoyed by both grade levels."

---Kirstina Frazier, Teacher (2nd grade), Andover Elementary, Andover, CT

"Kids love to be creative and this allows for that. There is not a lot of time to do the fun things that we as teachers enjoy doing but these plays are easy to adapt. It can be short or long, simple or elaborate. I love to use it to wrap up the end of the school year. It is something the kids look forward to and remember forever. Not to mention it is standards based and allows for all academic levels and ESL learners to participate."

---Crystal Albrecht, Teacher (1st-2nd grade), Patterson Elementary, Fremont, CA

"I love that the songs are funny, educational, easy to sing, and easy to learn for younger children."
