  • Did you have a good week super great kids?

  • I was very lucky to spend a whole week in several London schools having fun telling stories with five and six year olds.

  • One school had life-sized models of wild animals in the entrance lobby,

  • which had names like empathy elephant and persistent penguin.

  • What a great idea.

  • A lot of the children were learning English as their second language.

  • I was impressed how quickly they picked up the repetitions and songs and began joining in.

  • When we're all telling a story together at the same time,

  • that's when I think storytelling is at its best.
