Afro-American Tales and Games

Linda Goss
Afro-American Tales and Games

A jingle of African bells, a dramatic call of "Sto--ry! Sto--rytelling ti--me! ie yie yie yie yie," and the journey begins! Linda Goss, award-winning "Traveling Storyteller," enchants children with African tales and games (and American storytelling, too). Among the characters she introduces is the lazy Jack Rabbit who invents a magical guitar that plays by itself, but runs into trouble when his friends discover just how his magical guitar works.
