Bringing the Story Home: The Complete Guide to Storytelling for Parents

Lavishly endowed with over 100 original, hands-on activities for children aged three to ten, this book teaches parents to incorporate storytelling into household activities and to address real-life situations. In addition to folklore from our own and other cultures, it features a rich sampling of tales actually invented by children and their parents--stories that will inspire readers to invent their own. "[I]ts refreshing to see how a parent can kindle a childs imagination through the magic of the oral tradition."--<em>Stage Directions</em> "After reading this unpretentious, delightful romp of a book, no parent will be able to walk into a room and not imagine potential stories in every corner."--Steve Zeitlin, Director, City Lore
