Its value in\r\nthe home and in the school is assured. Miss Bryant, in her charming\r\nbook, How to Tell Stories to Children, says, \"Perhaps never, since\r\nthe really old days, has story-telling so nearly reached a recognized\r\nlevel of dignity as a legitimate and general art of entertainment as\r\nnow.\" And, in the guise of entertainment, the story is often the\r\nvehicle conveying to the child the wholesome moral lesson or the bit\r\nof desirable knowledge so necessary to his well-being at the time.\r\nThus it has come to be recognized that the ability to tell a story\r\nwell is an important part of the equipment of the parent or the\r\nteacher of little children.\nThe parent is often at a loss for fresh material. Sometimes he \"makes\r\nup\" a story, with but poor satisfaction to himself or his child. The\r\nteacher's difficulty is quite otherwise. She knows of many good\r\nstories, but these same stories are scattered through many books, and\r\nthe practical difficulty of finding time in her already overcrowded\r\ndays for frequent trips to the library is well-nigh insurmountable.\r\nThe[6] quest is indefinitely postponed, with the result that the stories\r\nare either crowded out altogether, or that the teacher repeats the few\r\ntales she has at hand month after month, and year after year, until\r\nall freshness and inspiration are gone from the story time.\nThe stories in the present collection are drawn from many nations and\r\nfrom widely differing sources. Folk tales, modern fairy tales, and\r\nmyths have a generous showing; and there is added a new field as a\r\nsource for stories. This is Real Life, in which children soon begin to\r\ntake decided interest. Under this heading appear tales of child life,\r\nof child heroes, of adult heroes, and of animals.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 26177 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Coe, Fanny E. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 3, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Coe, Fanny E. \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218774720669,"sku":"gb-26177-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/26177.jpg?v=1671505019","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-book-of-stories-for-the-story-teller-gb-26177","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
