Pages 1 to 6 are three tales retold in our own words, each on its page with its questions on the next. Page 7 is The Monkey and the Crocodile as a comic, page 8 compares the comic with the tale, page 9 compares all three tales, and page 10 is a chart to compare any two.
Find Malaysia, Indonesia, India and China on a map before reading. After all three tales, ask students why people so far apart might tell such similar stories.
Ask your child which tale had the cleverest trick, and whether there is a story like it from your own family or culture.
Three tales from Malaysia and Indonesia, India and China, each about a small, quick-thinking animal outwitting a bigger one, and a comic version of one. Students compare the tales' themes and plots and connect the comic to its text.
