from Catherin Vinson, teacher:

I just wanted to write and let you know how much I LOVE this website. I was looking for some straight-forward scripts to teach my 6th graders the elements of drama. Your stories and scripts were perfect. They are fun yet not too childish. I love having all of the extra resources, too.

What a great resource!

Whootie friends- you can also hear a quick sound demo of the story or the complete 4-minute tale, both narrated to enchanting original music.

Love your site.

From Ruhy Dawe, teacher:
Love your site. It's a great educational tool. I am a student/teacher right now and also a mom. I was reading one of the stories to my 8 year old daughter, and she loved it!

also from Ann, age 11

(Ann responds to an audio story from Whootie Owl, "Mousey the Merchant." You can hear a quick sound demo of this folk tale from India. Or you can hear the complete 3-minute story, narrated to enchanting original music.

Ann says this is the theme of the story- "To start simply and build up slowly then you will get rewarded."

also from Ann, age 11

(Ann responds to a question following the story A Turkish Judge, a folk tale about a ruler who disguises himself as a commoner to find out how justice is administered in his kingdom.)

Question- Did you ever have to find out the truth about something when you didn't have enough information? How did you do it?
Ann's response to Whootie Owl - My brother blamed me for breaking the clock, but he had cut his hand picking up the bits of glass that he threw in the bin. The story was very good because it makes you have to listen to the story and not decide before you have all the facts. I liked it.
