Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-6–This edition of Shepards collection of closely adapted story scripts for elementary children is basically the same as the original (H. W. Wilson, 1993) with a couple of changes. It has been pared down from 22 stories to 15 (more available on the Web site) and omits the appendix that offered detailed information on using readers theater in the classroom and on these scripts in particular. With its mix of humor, fantasy, and multicultural tales, such as Caryn Yacowitzs The Jade Stone and Harold Courlanders Talk, this book gives teachers both a fun and useful tool for bringing reading and literature to their students.–Betty S. Evans, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield
