Sing Me a Fable Bundle: Storybook, Songs, Games & Card Deck

ONE ECOSYSTEM. FIVE WAYS TO LEARN & PLAY.
26 illustrated fables • 26 songs & karaoke experiences • 10 online games • 12 classroom activities • 168-page coloring book • 54-card educational game

The storybook—Sing Me a Fable. Twenty-six fables in rhyme, six painted pages each: the animal alone, four verses, and a moral. The fault is named on the first page in gold, so a child learns the word and the picture together.
The card deck—54 cards. A real playing deck. Every face carries the fable, the flaw, and the virtue that answers it, plus a code that opens that fable’s song. Character practice disguised as Go Fish.

The coloring book—Color Me a Fable. Not in the box: yours to download and print at home, using the word printed on the last page of your storybook—a page, a fable, or all 168 pages, as many times as you like. It is not on sale separately, and it is not free: only people who bought the package can open it.
🔒 
What is free, and what is yours
Free to everyone, forever. All twenty-six songs. Ten games. Twelve kindergarten activities. One complete coloring fable. One complete sing-along—The Angry Boar. No account, no e-mail, no subscription.
Yours because you bought the package. The other twenty-five sing-alongs, opened by the codes printed beside each fable in your storybook—and the whole of Color Me a Fable, all 168 pages, opened by the word printed on its last page.
Both of those keys are printed, and printed only, in the book you bought. They are not sold
separately, not e-mailed, and not recoverable from an order number.

The first ten minutes

Open the website
Go to
singmeafable.com on any phone or tablet. No account, no e-mail, no password. Let a child tap the wheel of animals and press play.
Scan a code from the book
Every fable’s first page has a small square code under the title. Point a phone camera at it, and the sing-along opens—the words light up in time with the music.
Those codes are the buyer’s key: they exist only in the printed book.
Find your printing word on the last page of the storybook, under Color the whole book. One word. That word is your coloring book.
🔑 
Your coloring book
Go to color.singmeafable.com, type the word from the last page of your storybook, and the whole of Color Me a Fable opens — not a sample, all twenty-six fables. This page belongs to buyers only.
Without the word, the address opens nothing.
Print a single page, one fable’s six pages, or the entire book. As many times as you like. A spilled glass of paint, a page torn in half, two children who both want the fox—none of it costs anything. Print it again.
Why coloring is where character starts. A child too young to read spends twenty minutes inside a picture of the boar who charged before he looked and comes out knowing what the story is about.
She has met the flaw before she can name it.
Keep your word. It is printed in your storybook and nowhere else—not in the e-mail, not on the receipt. If the book is a gift, the word goes with it.

Fables—the wheel of twenty-six animals. A child who cannot read yet taps the boar, not the word Aggression. That is the point: she reaches the story about anger before she can read the word for it.
Songs—all twenty-six, free to everyone, no code needed. A moral sung is a moral remembered; children carry a tune years longer than a sentence.
Karaoke — the sing-along, and the part reserved for people who bought the package. Twenty-five of the twenty-six open only with the code printed beside that fable in your storybook. The Angry Boar is free to everyone, so you can see how it works first.
Games—ten of them, and each one drills a different piece of character. Match the flaw, attaching the word to the animal. Which Fable Am I? Asks her to recognize a lesson with no picture to help. Words That Hurt, Words That Help sorts real lines from the fables into two baskets—the most direct character work on the site. Nothing is timed and nothing is scored against another child.
Arcade—quicker games, 26 of them for the minutes between things, all educational masterpieces, all teaching values.
Cards—the deck and its six games. Name the Flaw and The Virtue are character games outright: one asks what went wrong; the other asks what would have fixed it.
Color & Draw—one whole fable free for anyone. The other twenty-five, and the complete 168-page book, open only with the word printed in your storybook.
Kindergarten Play — twelve activities for a room of children. Several are character work with no screen at all, including The Kind and Unkind Wall, where children sort real lines from the fables into what helps and what hurts.

How character builds, age by age

Too young to read—she meets the fault. She colors the boar mid-charge and the swan mid-boast. Nobody explains anything. The song plays while she works, and the picture does the remembering for her/him.
Learning to read—she names it. The rhymes give her words a reading primer never does: boastful, ungrateful, quarrelsome, wasteful. Each arrives attached to an animal she has already colored, so the word has a face before it has a definition. This is the step most character teaching skips, and it is the one that lasts.
Reading well—she judges it. She finishes the moral’s rhyme before the screen does, decides which words hurt and which help, and plays a card game where naming the fault is how you win. Now she is not being told what is right; she is working it out and saying it aloud.
One package, three stages, and twenty-six words for behavior that most children never get given at all.
For the grown-up
Three things make this work, and none of them is the screen.
Name the fault out loud. When the hyena mocks, say the word "that is meanness." Children cannot manage a feeling they have no name for, and twenty-six names is a large vocabulary for a five-year-old.
Ask before you tell. Show the painting with your thumb over the title and ask what this animal is like.
A guessed answer sticks; a given one does not.
Let the virtue be hers. The cards print the remedy under the fault so the child holds it rather than hears it. When she names a virtue in someone else—a brother who shared, a friend who waited—that is the whole thing working.
