Know about the book -

The Whole Story Handbook is written by Carol L. Birch and published by august house. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0874835666 (ISBN 10) and 9780874835663 (ISBN 13).

Birch -- storyteller, children's librarian, and teacher -- tackles the slippery topic of the difference between reciting a memorized story, and telling it directly and engagingly to listeners. The storyteller must know far more about the story than he or she tells. In addition to her own infectious prose, Birch provides a series of guided imagery exercises that walk the reader through the nuts and bolts of learning -- imagining -- a story from the inside out in order to be fully present in its telling.
