Why read it?
1 author picked Once Upon a Time... Storytelling to Teach Character and Prevent Bullying as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found that owning a collection of tales organized by these themes was very useful. Over 100 short folktales on themes of cooperation, courage, diversity, empathy, friendship, generosity, honesty and fairness, perseverance, respect, responsibility, self-control, and bullying prevention. Pearmain also gives suggestions for telling these and for extending them in the classroom. Wrapping an idea in a story really helps the concept sink in for the listener. Having a collection like this helped me build programs for use in the library.
From Margaret's list on The best books on storytelling for teachers.
