CANADIAN FAIRYTALES, SVE.

Sound Filmstrip. 2 filmstrips. (1. Tales of Magic and Mischief, 2. Tales of Daring and Delight.) Includes teacher's guide and 2 cassettes.

Grades 1 to 6/Ages 6 to 11

Volume 17 Number 3
1989 May


These filmstrips complement the book Canadian Fairy Tales edited by Eva Martin. The two filmstrips contain five of the stories and are presented in a compelling style. Laszlo Gal's illustrations are wonderful. The filmstrip also allows us to do a comparative study of various versions of the same story. The kit is a very useful supplement to a fairy-tale unit. Unfortunately, the Gal illustrations are supplemented by inartistic sketches and the narration is neither soft nor supple—a rather jarring contrast to the luscious, lovely Gal visuals. The manual summarizes content and suggests activities only. Recommended.
