Nature Fold-Along Stories: Quick and Easy Origami Tales About Plants and Animals has been the best selling Storigami book since its release in 2009! Midwest Book Review says it's a "wonderful hands-on book, especially ideal for anyone who teaches, entertains, or works with children."

Professional storyteller Fran Stallings wrote in the 2009 Spring issue of Territorial Tattler, "I tested several of them on a 6th grader of only moderate manual skill, who was pleased at her success and proudly retold the stories to younger siblings at home. This suggests that even us clumsy adults could learn to do the stories while folding the forms! The diagrams are excellent and easy to follow. Origami forms include: seagull, cicada, snake, owl, leaf, coyote (fox), duck, butterfly, Trillium, rabbit, fish, toad. Story topics include: food chains; life cycles; metamorphosis; habitats; photosynthesis; characteristic traits of reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, ants. It is amazing how the information gets linked to concurrent folds in the process of producing the final paper form! Kallevig's Follow-up Activities would be useful in the classroom or at summer camp, as well as in a home setting. She provides a lot of additional information about each animal, plant, or eco-niche as well as thought-provoking research suggestions and quizzes. I can recommend this little book as a useful addition to any storytellers bag of tricks." Click HERE and go to page 5 to read the complete review.

Please Pass Grandma's Leg - AKA: The Case of the Sacked Potatoes. This is a best seller during Christine's Kallevig's author visits to schools. It's a wacky mystery that opens with 6th-grader Roland "WeeWee" Weedervich horrified by catching his electronic-hat-wearing grandma showing off her artificial leg to unsuspecting shoppers at the mall. The trouble is, these unsuspecting shoppers just happen to be the snobbiest and most popular kids from Roland's school. Fortunately for him and unfortunately for her, Crystal Nellson's problems are even worse. Despite his ongoing difficulties with juvenile diabetes, the illegal antics of his bad-mannered beagle, and the embarrassing escapades of his bizarre family, Roland is rewarded with true friendship as he helps Crystal solve The Case of the Sacked Potatoes. For readers age 9 - 12. ISBN-13: 978-0962876936 Reg. $9.95 - Now $7.96
