Blog Post #5 - Folklore




Little Red Riding Hood  - Retold and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman- Fairy Tale 

The Tortoise and the Hare: An Aesop Fable - Adopted and illustrated by Janet Stevens  - Fable 


    The children's fable The Tortoise and the Hare illustrates the importance of taking your time, not bragging, and trying hard. In Little Red Riding Hood, a little girl goes through the forest to visit her sick grandmother and runs into a sly wolf along the way. Even though the main difference between a folktale and a fable is that fables always teach a moral lesson to the readers, but not all folktales have a moral, the moral lesson in Little Red Riding Hood was not everything is what it seems. The story warns readers to be cautious and aware of potential dangers.
