This little book contains beautifully written verses, each containing an entire Fairy Tale. Originally written for Eurythmy classes in a Waldorf school, they are marvelous re-tellings for class teachers in kindergarten, first, and second grades, too! Eurythmy is a form of dance designed to make speech and music visible through movement and unique to Waldorf schools. These verses help a child discover movement that expresses literature and enhance a child's comprehension of storytelling. Drama and music are integral to all Waldorf teaching and this gifted teacher brings them both together in all-original musical plays that underscore elements of the Waldorf curriculum. These are wonderful resources for Waldorf teachers and for all teachers. David Weber brings an extraordinary combination of talent in literary and musical skill to make these plays unusually fine. They are guaranteed to enliven lessons in each grade represented, and they are guaranteed to delight both young actors and their parents as the prime audience for these artistic performances.
