When dads and moms and families were their own entertainment centers

Instructs parents, elder children, and teachers the purposes and art of storytelling in education, how to choose the most "tellable" stories to tell aloud, and to adapt them to your audiences at home and in the classroom. Better than just reading a story, this teaches you how to be a master storyteller, how to voice a story, and satisfy the child-mind. Includes short poems and 33 stories categorized for Kindergarten and First Grade, Second and Third Grades, and Fourth and Fifth Grades. A favorite since 1910.
