faith, and a woman of God.

for each week of the school year-provides teachers and librarians
with an introduction to authors of short stories, chapter books,
and poetry. The subject matter includes acclaimed writers such as
Charles Dickens and Laura Ingalls Wilder, as well as more
contemporary authors like Paula Danzinger and Roald Dahl. Each
script is designed to be introduced, read, and discussed in a
30-minute period, and encompasses characters with lines written at
grade levels 2, 3, and 4 to accommodate different reading levels
(grade levels are indicated on the teacher's page only).

This book contains three of Wilde's short stories adapted into
enchanting plays for young children. The Selfish Giant chases away
spring and summer, leaving the garden in a permanent winter. Only
when the giant realises his selfishness and opens his garden to the
local children does the summer return bringing with it warmth,
brightness and joy. The people of the town celebrate the unveiling
of their new statue of The Happy Prince. But all is not as it seems
with this new golden statue. In his desire to help the poor and
suffering in the town, the Prince persuades a migrating swallow to
assist him, and a timeless tale of love and kindness is born. What
makes a good friend? Little Hans' best friend is Hugh the Miller
but while Hans is happy to share all the lovely flowers and fruit
from his garden, Hugh isn't quite so generous with his own things.
Join three lively characters in "The Devoted Friend" as they
