Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Using a unique double approach, the author combines traditional storytelling with origami. The resulting Storigami presents nine Biblical stories interspersed with easy to understand and perform paperfolding activities, to facilitate story presentation in an exciting and stimulating format. Each of the folding activities is illustrated in a step-by-step sequence which permits the non-artist to use origami as a part of the storytelling process...This work presents a very effective method and technique for helping younger children (preschool through second grade) feel more connected with the storytelling activity. -- Ralph Simon, Assoc. of Jewish Libraries Newsletter, Feb./Mar. 1994.

This review is from: Bible Folding Stories: Old Testament Stories and Paperfolding Together As One (Paperback)
I love this book! I am in Jewish education, but these are stories that both traditions share. Younger kids watch fascinated as the story unfolds and the paper folds. Older kids can fold along with the storyteller. I will often give the directions to the older kids so they can tell the story again with the folding and teach others. Somehow the folding really adds a dimension to the children's listening and thinking about the story--it's not just a gimmick. But it is also a great gimmick! One can customize the foldings to other stories not given in this book, but I wish the author would come out with another book of folding stories. I am buying this book even as I write this review, because I don't like to depend on my kids' day school library for it--I must have it for my own. I'm also buying the holiday book, though I suspect it's for Christian holidays, but I might be able to customize the stories, and I learn a lot just from the techniques the author describes.
