Product description

In Aesop’s original fable, the Country Mouse lived simply but without fear. The moral was that a simple country life was better than a town life of luxury accompanied by terror. Centuries later, retellers of the story saw that a simple country life had its own terrors, and the fable was reshaped with a new moral – ‘We learn to handle familiar dangers, but new ones alarm us.” Set in anywhere in Europe in the 19th century.

Purple level titles introduce a variety of topics to promote reading for pleasure and offer plenty of opportunities to look at rhyme and rhythm within words to build fluency and phrasing.

Available for Levels 15–24, PM Traditional Tales and Plays retell classic tales in a simplified language and form that children can understand. Teachers use the tales in guided reading sessions and children can later read them with confidence and understanding. Parts are colour-coded for easy recognition.
