An absorbing and beautiful folktale, Ivan and the Firebird teaches students several significant facets about Russian culture. Useful in both language arts and social studies classes, this intriguing animated program tells the story of a peasant who is recruited to serve in the czar’s royal court. When the young man and the czar’s fiancé (a beautiful princess from a faraway land) fall in love, two animals – a horse and a firebird – make certain that the czar doesn’t marry the princess. One of the most popular of the dozens of eastern European Firebird legends, Ivan and the Firebird will keep students on the edge of their seats.
