Publisher's Note
Stories live all around us. They connect us to one another and explain who we are, where we've been, and where we're going. Joseph Bruchac told his first story when he was twelve years old. Here he shares his life through story--and encourages all to discover the stories within. Fourteen stories from around the world are included, along with more than thirty activities to start even the youngest storytellers on their way.

Industry reviews
Gr 5-8 A brief introduction to storytelling that includes incidents from Bruchac's own life. The book is divided into four sections: "Listening," "Observing," "Remembering," and "Sharing." Each of these chapters tells something of the author's beliefs and experiences as a listener and teller. Tales from around the world are intermingled to reinforce his ideas. Bruchac suggests ways that young people can locate stories to tell from written sources, and also by listening and watching carefully and exploring their own families and backgrounds. Most of the stories included are brief, providing a moment of insight through the meaning of a name or teaching a simple truth. In the final chapter, "The Circle Continues," the author shows how stories are always continuing and always being created anew. Youngsters will find this to be a clear guide to the age-old art form. A "Note to Parents" about the power of stories, as well as the book's readable style, make this a useful resource for teachers and librarians as well. Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie
Lopate 

[This is] a clear introduction to storytelling for young readers. . . . The selections range from the humorous and entertaining to the wise and wondrous, and readers are urged to find stories within their families and tell them. Teachers and parents as well as students will find something of interest here. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.
Morgan 

Noted storyteller and author Joseph Bruchac has written an enjoyable how-to book for beginning storytellers. Aimed at a young adult audience, it is also appropriate for novice adult storytellers. . . . Interspersed throughout the text are stories from many cultures including African, Asian, Eastern European, and Native American. The author has done a good job of choosing appropriate stories to illustrate his lessons. Each of the four main chapters ends with an activities page. . . . The most important lessons in this book involve the how-to of finding stories to tell. Bruchac discusses ancestral and family stories, folklore, history, regional stories of rites of passage, and stories about the divine. . . . Listening is stressed. Stories have clearly been important to Bruchac throughout his life. Tell Me a Tale includes several autobiographical vignettes. This book is highly recommended. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.

About B-Logistics

B-Logistics began selling online in 2001 in partnership with several major public library systems that needed help managing large volumes of discarded materials. We chose the seller name Universal Athenaeum (depository of books and other materials for learning) to reflect that partnership, and we’re still proud to offer our services to hundreds of public, academic, school and special libraries all over the US and Canada (as well as a few publishers, retailers and wholesalers). By providing turnkey resale and recycling services of discarded books and media, we help libraries manage a difficult logistical challenge, generate positive PR, and earn funds for resources and programming.

Quality Standards

The books, CDs and DVDs we list for sale come from many sources, including public, academic and school libraries. We evaluate each item we list, and we strive to sell only items that are in GOOD or better condition, items that we would be happy to receive ourselves. You will notice in many cases that the library’s original ownership markings and other stamps, stickers and such are still in place. If you receive an item that is not in the stated condition, please notify us within 14 days of receiving the shipment so we can work out an acceptable resolution.

Great Service to Our Customers
