Through the Grapevine: World Tales Kids Can Read & Tell

Written by Martha Hamilton & Mitch Weiss
Have you ever played the game “Telephone,” where one person whispers a message and it travels around the circle until it comes back sounding completely different? Stories work the same way. As they’re passed from person to person—and from place to place—they stretch, twist, and grow into new versions. The stories in this book show just how powerful that “story grapevine” can be. Many of these tales have been traveling for hundreds of years. Some appear in different countries all over the world, each with its own special twist. All of them are fun to read aloud, and even more fun to tell in your own voice.

Stories seem to pop up wherever people gather, and some are so powerful and meaningful that they travel far beyond the place where they were first told.
