Storytelling can take many forms including live theatre, radio programs, stand-up comedy, classroom teaching and books. Being involved in each of these can help bring a unique and engaging style to children’s picture books.
On this edition of Just One More Book, Mark and Dan Bar-el sit in The Gallery Café of the Vancouver Art Gallery to discuss how Dan’s experience in live theatre has influenced his children’s picture books, writing with a flair for the absurd, and a classroom program called Stories In our Own Words which encourages children to write and perform their own stories.

First, let me say thank you for choosing to review Alphabetter. But thank you as well for all the positive comments you both made about the book. When I was listening to your podcast, I kept saying “yes, they get it!” I especially appreciated the comment about acknowledging that your 5 year old and 7 year old child will have a different sensibility than an adult’s regarding story or humour.
I would also like to say that your website is brilliant. It’s convivial in a casual, community-oriented way yet, as I already noted, your reviews are not frivolous. I’m sorry that I hadn’t heard of it before. Your mission is a generous and noble one and certainly every children’s author will appreciate what you’re doing. I will definitely link the podcast to my website and hopefully get a page of links up soon with your home page in there as well.
