Fancy Fables

Part 1 of the book plops the reader right into the story of the Monkey King, which comes from an ancient Chinese fable called Journey to the West. Give your kids an opportunity to check out some other fables to figure out what a fable is, explain how the Monkey King is a fable, and what its moral is.
