Oh, and evidently when I tell the story I get a California accent. I didn't even know I knew how to do a California accent. I learn new things about me all the time.

Storytelling
Last weekend I was asked to tell a story. I'm not a children's librarian, so I don't have a repertoire of ready stories to pull out and tell, but I do have one or two favourites that I can pretty much recite word for word. So I went rummaging through my brain and came up with Robert Munsch's Paperbag Princess. My mum bought me this book when I was little because it had a strong heroine and it was one of my regular read-aloud bedtime books when I was a kid. If you have little girls (or if you're just a little girl at heart) and haven't already bought a copy of this book - run out and get it! It's fabulous and funny and has a great message and is written by Robert Munsch - one of the best kid's writers alive.
Oh, and evidently when I tell the story I get a California accent. I didn't even know I knew how to do a California accent. I learn new things about me all the time.

I concur, The Paper Bag Princess is a great children's story, and one of my favourites as well.
So much so that, D&D geek that I am, I wrote a brief scenario based on it for a group I was running. (Oh, don't fight, ladies! There is geek enough for everyone!)
Cheers!
