Why read it?
1 author picked Children Tell Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is exciting to encourage students to start telling stories too. This book had lots of good ideas that I use in my storytelling classes for children. Kids enjoyed activities like rolling a yarn ball back and forth across a circle as they add to a story. The book includes 25 easy-to-tell tales for student beginners. And I learned from watching the DVD Children Telling Stories: A Storytelling Unit in Action that was included.
From Margaret's list on storytelling for teachers.
