Summary:
Along with its companion volume, The Handbook for Storytellers, this book represents an expansion and reworking of Caroline Feller Bauer's Handbook for Storytellers (1977). The two volumes include the best of the stories and ideas from the 1977 handbook, along with new stories, poems, songs, plays, and activities; annotated lists of stories and books; and related websites and technology tie-ins. This volume, The Handbook for Storytime Programs, is divided into two parts. In the first half, each chapter focuses on one element or aspect of story programs, such as pictures, objects, puppets, or songs. The second half ties all of those elements together and gives guidance on how to pull together a cohesive themed curricular unit or story hour.
