The Singing Sack: 28 Song Stories From Around The World (Music Series) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
The 28 stories in this book each contain a simple song which children can join in as the story unfolds. Song-stories are as old and as universal as storytelling itself, and this selection has been especially retold by contemporary storytellers. It is ideal for storytelling sessions in schools, libraries and homes. The song-stories include "The Lonely Mermaid" (Scotland), "Spider the Drummer" (Sierra Leone), "Momo-taro-san" (Japan), "The Lion on the Path" (Zimbabwe), "Little Cock Featherfrock" (Russia), "Gluskabi and the Wind Eagle" (North America). There is also a cassette which contains songs and tunes from "The Singing Sack", to help you learn the melodies and appreciate the foreign languages more fully.

It's got story texts, music, source notes and tips on how to tell these wonderful and varied song-stories: what storyteller could ask for more? The tunes are very singable (now if only offered the accompanying cassette, too!). Some stories are best suited to young audiences, but there's something for nearly everyone in this little collection.
This is one of my favorite books of all time. If you do not read music, you can purchase a tape or CD to go with it. We got the CD from our local library. I highly recommend it to anyone who is not too shy to sing a little bit with your storytelling!
