Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. The boy who cried wolf. Lion’s share. Sour grapes.
You’ve heard these expressions before. Now share them with your children. The classic Aesop’s Fables educate and entertain through animal stories that teach life lessons about kindness, honesty, common sense, boastfulness and flattery.
Fabulous Fables plays a different Aesop’s fable every day. Each fable is pre-recorded and enhanced with sound effects, such as mooing in The Milkmaid and Her Pail, croaking in The Frogs and the Ox, and purring in Belling the Cat. At the end, Alexa asks an easy multiple-choice question about the moral of the story and gives a preview of the next day’s fable.
