Fuhler, Carol J.; Farris, Pamela J.; Hatch, Lynda – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 1998
Explores folktales from China, Africa, and Russia suggesting ways to utilize them in the social studies classroom as a means to teaching children about other cultures. Warns that when using folktales it is important to explain that the folktales do not bear a one-to-one relationship with present-day societies. (CMK)
