About this book
Teaching friends asked Sara Cone Bryant for more stories they could tell aloud, and this collection answers that request with fifty-four selections and practical advice. Familiar tales such as The Little Red Hen and The Gingerbread Man sit alongside animal fables, fairy stories, poems and accounts drawn from religious tradition. Bryant writes for teachers and others who work with young children, paying close attention to how a printed story becomes a spoken performance.
Her opening guidance covers confidence, pace, repetition and recovery from a missed detail. A classroom example shows how embarrassment about a recurring rhyme can break a story's hold on its listeners. In one animal tale, a freed tiger challenges a Brahmin's trust, and a tree and other creatures judge human gratitude. The volume offers material for reading aloud together with a historical view of teaching through storytelling.
