Lyman, Edna. Story telling; what to tell and how to tell it.
Story telling; what to tell and how to tell it. "The purpose
of this book is not in any way to attempt to give information
to those who have devoted both time and study to the subject
or who have had practical experience in story telling, but
rather to make a few suggestions to those mothers, teachers
and librarians who are interested in its use as a phase of
another occupation." The chapters on "Reading aloud to
children" and "Arranging the program of miscellaneous
stories" are particularly suggestive. Contains good outlines
for cycle story hours for older children.
Olcott, F.J. Story telling poems.

indexed under such ethical subjects as courage, humility,
etc.

Bryant, S.C. Stories to tell to children.
Fifty-one stories with some suggestions for telling. There is
a clear statement of the value to the child of the type of
story which specifically teaches a certain ethical lesson and
also the kind of story that has no moral to offer. The author
believes in telling one to three in favor of the latter kind.
The book also contains a few principles underlying the
dramatization of stories for young children.
