About the Book
Children of all ages enjoy hearing a story read to them—sometimes the same one over and over. Reading aloud is more than reading words. It involves some simple theatrical skills by using your voice to sound like a character in the story. This makes the story come alive and is more interesting to the child. The stories in this book are appropriate for all ages, from preschool through adulthood. Some of the stories are funny or silly, some may touch a child’s heart, and some provide information a child may not know. But all the stories are enjoyable. There may be times when reading a story is not possible, like while driving a car or walking through a store. That’s when the story can be told using your own creative adaptations. Whether you read or tell a story, make it a fun time for you both. Enjoy the stories!
