{"product_id":"9780982621202","title":"Home to Many Cats: A Cat Filled Picture Book plus Draw and Tell Story","description":"Home to Many Cats is a cat centered preschool picture book (great for ages 2 to 8) about a collection of cats who live in a big old house. Each cat has a favorite room in the house and his or her own special cat rhyme.\u003cp\u003eThis cat picture book also includes a bonus draw and tell story, where the cat picture book story is repeated in the form of a drawing story, a lively and time-honored storytelling technique which is very easy to use and requires no special materials or experience. Clear instructions and a traceable drawing are included, as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the draw and tell story, as the Home to Many Cats tale is retold, certain elements are sketched onto a single sheet of paper, while children look on. These simple elements build up on the drawing until, by the time the story ends, a composite picture of a cat has emerged, much to the children's delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis form of storytelling is great for parents, teachers and children's librarians. Author Barbara Freedman-De Vito has been creating and using Draw and Tell stories for many years in her work as a children's librarian, freelance storyteller, teacher, and workshop leader.
