Fable
Fables are stories that feature animals
, plants, or forces of nature that have been given human qualities.
They teach
moral and ethical lessons
, like how to behave or how to treat people.
Since the main characters are animals, they are a good way to introduce serious topics to children. Each animal represents a particular human fault or virtue, and what happens in the story is directly related to the animal’s personalitySlide5

Fairy & Folk Tales
Fairy Tales include mythical creatures
, like elves, fairies, and trolls. They feature enchantments, spells, and magical items. They are meant primarily to amuse.
Folk Tales are traditional stories from a particular culture.
They are considered part of the history (imaginary or not) of that culture, and often
they seek to explain why something is the way it is
(why the seasons change, or why the leopard has spots).Slide7
