Something Special !
New! Stories from Papi "Fifty stories in a year. That's my challenge. This is a growing collection of stories I tell my kids. They could be about anything. Sometimes I ask them to come up with the characters, sometimes they come up with the plot. They are 5, 3 and 2 years old. These could be fairy tales, or bedtime stories, maybe they're stories for non-children too"
Kellscraft Studio has put together an amazing salad of literature treats that date back over a hundred years. All the books listed are out-of-print public domain books for your reading and/or printing pleasure! You have got to visit this site. And yes, there is a Children's section of which I have featured one of the authors, Emilie Poulsson, at TdebCreations: Learning In Motion. Enjoy!

Telling it...The Art of Storytelling by Adora Dupree, an exerpt..."Once upon a time, there lived a land of people who had forgotten how to tell stories. In that No Story Land, no one talked much because all questions had to be answered “yes” or “no.” After all, an explanation is a story. And eventually, even that “yes” or “no” turned into just a nod or shake of the head."
