Here is a source that I like and that you may
find valuable. The link
goes to the Table of Contents where you can select your topic or
section.
Selected quotes from the preface and conclusion frame the suggestions.
"With few exceptions, children listen twice as eagerly to a story told as to one read, and even a "recitation" or a so-called "reading" has not the charm for them that the person wields who can "tell a story." And there are sound reasons for their preference."
"To the child and to the dreamer all things are possible; frogs may talk, bears may be turned into princes, gallant tailors may overcome giants, fir-trees may be filled with ambitions. A chair may become a horse, a chest of drawers a coach and six, a hearthrug a battlefield, a newspaper a crown of gold. And these are facts which the story-teller must realize, and choose and shape the stories accordingly."
