The books named "Ali and the Spring Mouse"、 "The Horses'' love"、 "The Missing Piece"、 "The Giving Tree"、 "The Missing Piece meets the Big O" was chosen by the elementary school novice teacher as material in this research. Information was then collected by observation、interview、 stimulated recall、 documents, and data analysis was based on interpretive research. Following results are obtained: (1) Novice teacher uses both written and mental planning in teaching the fables. (2) When teaching the fables, novice teacher''s thinking is student centered. (3) When teaching the fables, novice teacher''s self experiences is her teaching guideline. (4) When teaching the fables, novice teacher sees pictures as the assistant materials. (5) When teaching the fables, novice teacher often uses questions to guide her students'' learning. (6) When teaching the fables, novice teacher pays much attention to the students'' learning process, but not teaching goals. According to the results of this research, we have four suggestions to teachers who teach fables: (1) Teacher should bring fables into the class at the right times. (2) Teacher should help children to clarify their opinions. (3) Using pictures for children to create their imagination is a good way. (4) In order to introduce fables to children systematically, putting more fables into the elementary school textbooks is necessary. Besides, we have three suggestions to pre-service teacher education: (1) Pre-service teacher education should pay much attention to the children-literature course and combine the theories and the exercises. (2) Reference books should provide guideline for users. (3) Pre-service teacher education should teach how to investigate and think the deep meanings of the contents. Finally, we also have three suggests for further researchers who have interesting in the kind of work: (1) This work should be taken place for another teachers of different seniority. (2) This work could focus on teacher''s thinking of different courses. (3) The work could choose the fables from the textbooks as the materials.
