=Information and Storytelling =

Stories are the BEST way that humans convey information.

 * 1) Stories contain emotion
 * 2) Stories are organized in a way that we can remember them
 * 3) Stories are created with the audience

The Following links deal primary with vocal storytelling. They give advice and encourage you as a librarian, teacher or leader not to forget that your biggest and most important job is telling stories!

=Watch. Connect. Read. = Exploring Children's Literature through Book Trailers This is one of my favorite book trailer blogs. This blog is created by children's librarian Mr. Schu who adds a new set of book trailers each day. He is really good at combing through many other blogs and bringing up trailers and stories that are useful to anyone reading to K-8 children. Look at his back posts and the "blogs I follow" area to get even more bloggers who are producing and finding book trailers, reviews and recommendations.

=The Art of Storytelling Show = @http://www.artofstorytellingshow.com/ The Art of Storytelling Show is for people who want to find out how storytellers construct and create their stories. You can listen to interviews with famous authors and even librarians! It is great to hear people tell stories and explain their creative process!
