Description

The sequel to the award-winning Natural Storyteller: Wildlife tales for telling, this book encourages parents and teachers of young children to tell stories in their family or pre-school

Children love songs, action rhymes and stories. They love their parents, carers and teachers telling them stories. They love telling stories of their own.

Written by two pioneering storytellers, Fairytales, Families and Forests is an invitation and guide to storytelling with and for young children. For each year of the child's life, from birth to seven years, the book offers age-specific stories, verses and games. It is brimming with ideas for celebrating the seasons, for participation, for harnessing rhythm and rhyme, puppets and crafts.

A book to enrich family and pre-school life and help instill a love of trees, nature and the outdoors in the next generation of storytellers.
