Storytelling with young children. Fairytales, Families and Forests encourages parents and teachers of very young children to tell stories in their family or pre-school. There is a chapter for each year of the childs life from 0-7 years, with age specific stories, verses, games and how to use them, including the use of sign language and special needs. Each year will include ideas for celebrating the seasons, for participation, for harnessing rhythm and rhyme, puppets and crafts.
