"The Probably Untrue Story of Mary (who) Had A Little Lamb" was conceived as an entertainment AND an educational tool, the goal being to introduce children to "classical" music. The CD includes a Teachers' Guide written by Barbara F. King. The Teachers' Guide follows National Standard Performance Goals and is, therefore, suitable as a series of lesson plans to be used in public schools and home school situations as well as private schools throughout the US. The Teacher's Guide is on the CD in the form of a PDF. The user may access and print the Teacher's Guide using either a PC or Macintosh computer using Acrobat Reader. The final tracks on the CD are comprised of all the tunes found in the original "Mary" WITHOUT narration. They are intended to be used with the Teacher's Guide.
