SUMMARY: The king wants to hear a nightingale and his servant retrieves one for him. He receives a toy nightingale as a gift, and neglects the real bird. The real bird flies away, the toy breaks, and the king becomes ill. The nightingale visits the king, sings, cures him, and promises to visit and sing to him nightly. PERSONNAL REACTION: I like the setting of this story. I love this story, but this is not my favorite version. The illustrations did not impress me. CLASSROOM EXTENSION: This would be great to incorporate in a lesson over China. I also think it would be good to compliment a lesson over taking care of our pets or nature in itself! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The nightingale has a beautiful voice. The king from china hears the voice and asks his servant to go and get the nightingale. The servant asks the bird if he will come and sing for the king. The king gets a cage for the nightingale and is accompanied by a toy bird that also sings. The nightingale feels forgotten and flies away back into the forest. The king gets sick and the toy bird is broken and can't be fixed. The nightingale sings by the kings window and he gets healed. The king wants the nightingale to stay with him, but the bird says no, that it will stay in the forest and come everyday by his window and sing for the king.
Personal Reflection:
I really liked the moral behind the story. I feel that it teaches children to not be selfish and to also be grateful with what they have. I also like how the nightingale gives the king a chance, but the second time he defends himself and lets the king know that he can't always have it his way.
Classroom Extension:
1. I would use this story as a mulitcultural book, and use China as a theme.
2. I have students do a needs and wants chart, also I would tie it with the importance of nature and how to appreciate its beauty.
3.Have them do their own beautiful nightingale bird and have them state what makes them happy. ( )
