Guidelines for story telling, both for when adults and for when young children are initiators of the story telling, are offered in the first section of this Australian early childhood resource booklet. In the second section, 14 different kinds of children's books, including, for example, story books with pictures, stories in verse, wordless story books, and fact books, are discussed. A bibliography listing approximately 150 items entered into categories broadly based on those mentioned in the text is included in the last few pages of the booklet. (Author/RH)
