Founder’s Fables (Book)
Written by Laurie Cockerell
48 pages, soft cover, 11 x 8 1/2
Through the use of funny and memorable characters, ten simple fables address these American values, often believed too complicated for kids to comprehend. Stories are introduced with a supporting quote from one of our nation's founding fathers. Each fable is followed by age-appropriate questions and a short art activity to inspire your child to an even deeper understanding. Fun and colorful illustrations accompany each fable, written to appeal to children five years old and up. Through familiar quotations and a short biography, children will also become familiar with famous historical figures who played significant roles in the birth and early development of the United States.
Issues addressed in Founders' Fables include: National Debt and Future Generations Private Enterprise and Government Intervention Pork/Earmarking Socialism Eminent Domain Outsourcing of American Businesses Self-Reliance and Welfare Government Intervention in Private Lives Fairness Doctrine and Free Speech Independence and Self-Reliance Each fable is written in rhyme to encourage recall of the stories, and to appeal to a young child's sense of rhythm and fun.
