5.0 out of 5 stars
A superbly written and presented "how to" guide.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating a Family Storytelling Tradition (Paperback)
Creating a Family Storytelling Tradition tells families how to awaken the 'hidden storyteller' in family experiences and traditions, providing guidelines to unlocking story-telling potentials in all family members. Moore is a professional storyteller, and here guides parents and children in exercises which enhance creating, telling and listening to family stories.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Thoughtful, practical ideas for families,

This review is from: Creating a Family Storytelling Tradition (Paperback)
This wonderful book describes how to deepen family relationships through storytelling with graceful, practical and detailed suggestions. Very clear advice about getting a family storytelling tradition in motion, and why it's a great idea! Well written with humor, I recommend this book highly!
1.0 out of 5 stars
Very disappointing conclusion,
This review is from: Creating a Family Storytelling Tradition (Paperback)
The book is well written & well organized. But the end left me deeply concerned. I suspect Moore does not intend to be harmful, but he closes his book by dabbling with destructive spiritual powers. For a record of what this leads to, see http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Rainforest-Yanomamo-Shamans-Story/dp/0964695235/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263729876&sr=8-1. To me, this outweighs any benefits a parent or other aspiring storyteller would gain.
