Nursery World - Pick a story

Anthologies are useful for reading aloud - they enable you to build on a theme and lend an overall structure to story sessions. They offer material for several days and each tale is just the right length for a complete session Rhyme

Rhyme

It's a good idea to begin and/or end with a nursery rhyme or poem during your group story sessions, and to ensure that you have something fresh to recite alongside the old favourites you will need to update your poetry collection every so often. The Oxford Nursery Collection contains a mixture of stories, poems and nursery rhymes. In all there are five well-loved tales and 32 rhymes and poems to dip into, some, but not all, of which will be familiar to most listeners. Every one of the 91 pages contains large, easy-to-view illustrations, which makes for a lot of discussion time and the book is not too large or unwieldy to hold up in front of the group. This collection is illustrated by Ian Beck and is available in hardback, priced 12.99.
