We had one of those naturally unfolding unit studies with Aesop's Fables.
We went to see a show put on by Jim West's Puppets. It was a fantastic show and the kids were fascinated by both puppets and Aesop. We got into reading Aesop's Fables. Actually this isn't exactly the edition we have. Ours is older and hard back and has no cd. We also liked Ann McGovern's retellings. We also got into Arnold Lobel's own fables.
Finally, we had fun putting on these plays. I highly recommend this resource even though it is rather obscure. It is great for your own kids, playdates, play groups and co-ops.
If you the parent or an older student are interested in Aesop's Fables from a more scholarly point of view, you might enjoy this collection of 358 of these ancient stories.
