Storytellers are verbal by nature--hyperverbal, in fact. When asked to tell a five minute story, most of us stumble. It's an occupational hazard! Fear no more. Margaret Read MacDonald has compiled a book full of three minute gems to help fill those gaps in a story program, or to fit the call for a "short little story."
She arranges the stories in categories such as "humorous tales," "stories for young listeners," or "scary tales." Source notes are, as with anything she writes, comprehensive, allowing the teller to explore the story in more depth. Her trademark telling notes in the margins accompany some stories, making this an excellent resource for use with new tellers. She even has each story timed, so that if you want a "story to think about" that is 1 minute 15 seconds in length, you can turn to "A Plan of Attack" from China.
Thanks for a long overdue storytelling resource, Maggie!
