Around a camp fire on a dark night in a silent wood or in the still of a sleepy child’s bedroom, there’s nothing like a good story to captivate your audience and build memories into the future.

And the best stories are your stories.

ChildTell Stories provide the materials for you to tell and build your own special and unique stories.

A ChildTell Story can be read as written to children and adults from ages 2 to 102, or — and this is the preferred and intended use — you can first read the story to yourself and then tell the story using your own words. Tailor the story to your hearers. For example, an older child or adult may receive the full content of the story with all the sound effects. Those sounds may and should be personalized and exaggerated for even greater impact. For a younger child, shorten the story and lessen the sounds, but be sure to include your own words and sounds.

Children of all ages love to be surprised and sound is a wonderful way to surprise and captivate.

A ChildTell Story is one your surprised audience will want to hear over and over again.

The first ChildTell Story is entitled “The Ghost Who Hated Blueberries.”

It’s posted right here on this website, unclejoestories.com.

Touch the ChildTell item on the menu bar just above.

Read, enjoy and get ready to tell.

Make the story your own.

That’s ChildTell.

For You.
