The Pied Piper Of Hamelin and The Selfish Giant

The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a popular folklore and an enchanting piece of literature that never fails to enthrall children. The legend dates back to the middle ages where a pied-piper lures the rats, and later, children, from the city by playing his magic pipe. Adapted and simplified from the poem The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Robert Browning, this tale is sure to weave the magical spell of literature over young readers.

The Selfish Giant is a short fantasy story for children written by Oscar Wilde. First published in 1888 in the anthology, The Happy Prince and Other Tales, the story revolves around a selfish giant who builds a great wall to keep children from entering his garden at bay, but eventually learning compassion from their innocence.

The Sheperd Boy Who Cried Wolf And The Hare And The Tortoise

The Shepherd Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop’s Fables which tells the story of a young shepherd boy who repeatedly played tricks on the villagers by lying about a wolf attacking his sheep. The short tale reverberates the moral of not telling lies among young learners while also forming an exciting reading experience.

The Hare and the Tortoise is also one of Aesop’s Fables where a clever hare challenges a tortoise to a race, but ultimately loses to the slow tortoise by falling asleep mid-way in the chase. The moral of ‘slow and steady wins the race’ echoes through this story.
