Storyteller Jo Ho chooses Aesop’s best tales
that reflect experiences within a child’s world
in this enduring program. Short, direct tales
with perfect structure make this program an
experience in GREAT literature for the little
ones. Children will delight in role-playing
with Jo as they discover a gently emphasized
moral in each tale. In addition to the fables, Jo
will be telling the story
of Aesop, a humble
little slave with a mind
full of teaching tales —
tales that are still alive
and well today!
