I am apparently rubbish at it! I read stories all day long to my DDs, and I think I'm pretty decent at it, but when it comes to telling stories, I apparently fall apart. I was just reading something earlier today about how important it is to make up stories for kids, so I thought I'd give it a try tonight.... Alas, DD1 cut me off about 2 minutes into my story and asked me to read her normal books instead. I said 'you don't want me to finish my story?' 'No, mummy read George and Martha now please'. Sigh. Actually, it was probably a good thing because I had absolutely no idea where my story was headed

So tell me, are you a good storyteller or do you prefer sticking to traditional books? I have zero imagination so it's books all the way for me!
