Aunt Isabel Tells a Good One by Kate Duke

Aunt Isabel Tells a Good One by Kate Duke, Puffin Unicorn, 1992, ISBN 0-14-050534-2
My tags: storytelling, books about writing
Penelope asks her aunt to tell her a story, a "good story", which is the hardest kind to tell, according to Aunt Isabel. While telling the story, Duke goes through the elements of a story: the When and the Where, the Who, the Problem, the Villans, a Little Danger, and the Happy Ending.
Grades: 1-4
This would be an excellent book to use when teaching students the elements of a story. Would leave the door wide open for students to create their own story using the same format (this would work best with 3rd and 4th graders).
