Draw and tell stories are simple stories for young children. These drawing tales are very easy to use and require no special materials or experience. As each draw and tell story is told, its characters and objects 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 representing the subject of the story has emerged, much to the children's delight. The draw and tell form of storytelling is great for parents, teachers and children's librarians.
