Ad lit.org: Discussion Guide: The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School

Candace Fleming writes contemporary stories built around Aesop's fables in The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School. No one wants to teach the fourth graders until the amazing Mr. Jupiter comes along. He undertakes the task with humor, and along the way the fourth graders learn many lessons, including "He laughs best who laughs last;" "Be careful what you wish for-it might come true;" and "Slow and steady wins the race."
