Legends and Folktales

Children love folktales or legends.  These stories contain a moral, maybe trickery or a lesson to be learned.  Now let's integrate social studies!   Folktales and legends are a great way to teach students moral values and how to be good workers.  What a wonderful way to teach children to become good citizens.  Here are a few good book titles:
Anansi Goes Fishing (There are other Anansi books)
Tops and Bottoms
The Legend of the Indian Paint Brush
The Legend of the Blue Bonnet
