Customer Reviews

GOD BLESS PETE SEEGER

The first time I came across Pete Seeger was at a peace in at Flushing Meadow Park. Here I am thirty years later sharing Pete Seeger story with my children. There are not many artist I can say that about. Some thing about Pete makes me feel good about life. Get his CD's and this book and share them with your family. Your world will be a richer place.

Truly wonderful contribution

Another truly wonderful contribution from our old companion on the trail, Pete Seeger. Thank you, Pete!

Hands down my son's favorite book ever

The storytelling tips and lead ins are interesting and quite charming. The best thing about this book, however, is the great stories.Every evening my son walks out of his room with the book hidden behind his back and a big grin on his face. He holds it up in front of me and asks "ready?" We absolutely LOVE this book!

Back to Basics

Pete Seeger's Storytelling Book by Pete Seeger and Paul DuBois Jacobs reminds us of the importance in telling stories to our children. With all the different parenting books around, this book is a wonderful reminder that what really matters in a child's life is time spent with an adult and connecting to them through words, ideas and history. The stories are warm, clever, funny and easily retold with our own words. I was inspired to start telling original and some not so orginal stories to my children. Hands down, they want "mommy stories" everynight instead of "book stories". Pete Seeger's Storytelling Book will be given at all my family and friend's holiday celebrations this year. What a great way to celebrate the real millenium; with a tribute to the past. This book is a must buy for parents, grandparents, anyone who loves and spends time with children.
