This is a great book with lots of ideas for using storytelling, drama, reader’s theater, silly chants and rhythms, and stories in the elementary school classroom. The book is divided into sections: getting started, a songbook (with lesson plan ideas for some of the songs), a storybook of easy-to-tel

Best and most comprehensive resource on storytelling, songs, reader's theater I've ever read. Good for preschool and up. This is the bible of reader's theater; definitely one to return to when I start doing it seriously.

I didn't find it very interesting.

Helpful professional guide.

Some really cute stories for young kids. Lots of additional resources suited for older kids. A great starter resource for someone wanting to incorporate stories and drama into the classroom.

Good resource for pre-k-6 programming

Great bibliographies and teaching tools. Solid resource for storyteller workshop.
