Treehouse is one of the preschools at which I’m the regular weekly storyteller. I really enjoy telling there. The staff is great, the facility is cozy and sweet and they’re always working on innovative projects. You can read more about them at their website. Some of the puppets in this video are made by Folkmanis Puppets.
There are two stories in the video. The first is called “The Old Woman and her Bear.” It’s a very sweet Inuit folk tale about an old woman who adopts a polar bear cub. The kids loved it when I first told it and asked for it many other times. The other is “The King’s Sneeze,” adapted from a Grimm’s tale. You’ll get to see my favorite puppets Willy the Wolf and Francesca the Flying Squirrel and several others. I hope you enjoy the stories.
