Cool Story Programs for the School-Age Crowd
Rob Reid has written several books on storytelling and children's programming and this appears to be his most recent
work, published in 2004. What appealed to me about this title was the non-traditional subject matter. "
What kid wouldn�t love literary explorations of the stinky, creepy, and dirty? Throw in rats, witches, aliens,
and underwear, and it�s irresistible." -- [from the
ALA Online Store description.]
Three-Minute Tales: Stories From Around the World to Tell When Time is Short
Margaret Read MacDonald has authored over 30 books on storytelling. All the reviews I read for this book were positive. These
brief stories could be a good way for new library staff to ease in to storytelling. The book includes tips for beginners
and is organized by type of tale (scary, humorous, participatory, etc.)
