Tales to Tickle Your Funny Bone: Humorous Tales from Around the World by Norma J. Livo

From tall tales, trickster tales, and noodlehead stories to hoaxes, urban legends, riddles and songs-here are more than 70 stories from around the world and across the centuries that you can pull out of your story bag at a moment's notice-to read aloud or re-tell before, between and after daily activities; or integrate into lessons and learning opportunities. Most take just minutes to read. The country or culture of origin is noted for each story, and there is a detailed bibliography, introductory notes on humor and folklore, and a discussion of the healing power of humor.

Tales to Tickle Your Funny Bone Reviews

Livo's insistence on the importance of oral culture to childhood teaching and learning led her to a life-long interest in storytelling, about which she has written a textbook. Here, for teachers, other professionals, and just plain folks who want to entertain friends, she presents humorous tales, most a page or two long, from cultures around the world and through time. She identifies the country and sometimes region of origin for each. - Reference & Research Book News
