February 07, 2002: I just saw these plays performed in a classroom last week and I loved them. The kids laughed a lot and were able to follow the whole storyline. The author took familiar fairy tales and translated them into Aztec themes packed with teaching material. The quiz questions make for a perfect follow up. In my own teaching experience, I have found very little creative material for Aztec study. So if you are studying the Aztecs and want to something beyond the typical dry stuff, you definately want these plays.
