Storytimes are not only useful for entertaining children and stimulating their imaginations-they are a way of helping build vocabulary and listening skills, as well as instilling a love of books, reading, and libraries. But what are the best storytelling techniques for achieving these goals?

She has chosen 500 books commonly held by public and school libraries with a variety of publication dates and themes in order to prove that any book can be the centerpiece of a dynamic storytime experience. In addition to providing the activities designed for each book, Storytime Action! outlines the practicalities of program planning and specific tips for developing a personal storytelling style.
