Tricky Rabbit: A Story from Cambodia to Read and Tell (book)

This picture book is part of Richard C. Owen Publishers' "Books for Young Learners" series. These small, beautifully illustrated picture books are available at reasonable prices and thus are perfect for use in the classroom. (This doesn't mean they can't be used elsewhere!) We have been teaching younger children to tell stories lately and have rewritten a number of very short, simple folktales and fables in language that makes them accessible for telling by first, second, and third graders as well as older students with learning problems. (Older student tellers are amenable to using picture books when their goal is telling to younger children.) Richard C. Owen Publishers plans to have a few of these picture books coming out each year. Eventually there will be a critical mass that will make it much easier for teachers of younger children to have every child choose a simple, very short tale to tell. We sell individual books at this site, but if you are interested in buying multiple copies, the books are sold in "six-packs" for $24 at Richard Owen Publishers.
