Are you looking for a memorable way to introduce your young learners to the timeless wisdom of Aesop’s Fables? I’m excited to share my original mini-musical, Aesop’s Fables in Song, written especially for children in kindergarten through second grade. This short, engaging production brings classic fables to life through humor, simple dialogue, and catchy songs your kids will be humming for a long time.
Perfect for homeschool co-ops, classroom reader’s theatre, children’s theatre groups, and family learning, this 15-minute play transforms beloved tales—like The Tortoise and the Hare, The Fox and the Grapes, Country Mouse and City Mouse, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and The Lion and the Mouse—into an easy-to-perform musical experience.
