As an educator, it always fascinated me to see how a book empowered the minds of my students. Once upon a time, I allowed my students to dress as characters of a book. The imagination of the students exploded even for my students who were shy. It was like magic! Storytime dates back over thousands of years. It is a powerful voice that gives words life. So much so that a well told or written story can make a person feel happy, sad, excited, curious, and much more. They teach value and lessons to help build character especially for children. Reading stories will take you places you will never visit. They can also take you down paths of a world of imagination. The stories in this book are true stories. As you read this book, see if you can make a connection with some of the characters. ENJOY!!
