Stories to Read Aloud — David Booth

A wonderful anthology of stories to read with ideas and suggestions for using these stories as read alouds. This collection of fifteen short stories features tales that have inspired and stretched children, librarians, and teachers alike. They include tales by writers of different ethnic backgrounds, each working in a distinctive style: Virginia Hamilton, Jane Yolen, Paul Yee, and Celia Lottridge. Each story is accompanied by an introduction to the author and their work, practical tips for reading aloud, and a list of related stories to explore with children.
