Why read it?
1 author picked The Story Vine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found some wonderfully unusual formats for storytelling here. The book includes string figure stories, drawing stories, finger play stories, riddle tales, and tales told with dolls and incorporating music. I use some of the simple stories like the mosquito string figure tale when I’m teaching beginning tellers. My students find them easy to learn and fun to use.
From Margaret's list on storytelling for teachers.
