Opis

What is so special about telling stories? Unlike reading from a book, one's arms are free to gesture and use props--or give a tickle. Above all, one can make eye contact and see and respond to a child's reactions. This collection of classic tales includes advice on how to tell stories to children--how to establish a routine, create a mood, involve children, and personalize stories. The stories are suitable for children three to seven years of age. Many are old favorites that are told regularly in kindergartens, nurseries, and schools--tales about magical creatures and exotic animals, as well as stories from everyday life. Many people believe they cannot tell stories. Beatrys Lockie, however, believes firmly that everyone is a storyteller, though it may take a little practice. Stories include: "The Little Jug"; "The Mitten"; "The Tomten"; "The Star Child"; "How the Zebra Got its Stripes"; "King Grizzly Beard"; and "Hans in Luck."
