Why read it?

1 author picked Children Tell Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

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.
