{"product_id":"9780982621219","title":"Hens in a Hurry: A Hen Filled Counting Book plus Draw and Tell Story","description":"Hens in a Hurry is both a counting book to help young children learn to count numbers from one to twenty, and a sweet preschool picture book (great for ages 2 to 8) about a flock of hens who fill every day with fun and action-packed adventures. There are numbers and hens to count everywhere.\u003cp\u003eThis fully illustrated hen counting picture book also includes a bonus draw and tell story, where the hen 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, to help novices use the draw and tell story with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the draw and tell story, as the Hens in a Hurry counting story 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 hen has emerged, much to the children's delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis form of draw and tell storytelling is great for parents, teachers, babysitters 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.
