Funny Folktales

Bedtime is a great time to read or tell folktales with children.  These stories have been handed down for many generations.  If you have a good repertoir of folktales you and your little one will have something to look forward to every evening.  Whether you are in the mood for an adventure story, a scary story, or a funny story, there are lots of  folktales for you to choose from.  I hope you will try storytelling.  There is something magical about telling a story in your own words, with your own expressions and style.  You may want to listen to some storytellers tell a folktale to help you understand what storytelling is all about.

Here are a few of my favorite folktales that are very funny and easy to tell.

Do you remember a favorite story from your childhood?  Do you still know it by heart?
