Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Storytellin’ Fun with Mary Jo Huff
Family & Educators DVD
Proving that storytelling is an ageless, timeless adventure, Granny on the Go Mary Jo Huff, captures the spirit of childhood in this colorful and fun DVD. Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Storytellin’ Fun was filmed with a live audience at the Ohio Township Public Library System. Using interactive storytelling filled with lively audience participation, playful puppets, and merry music, Mary Jo engages the children both on screen and in front of the screen. My six year old was clapping, dancing, and chanting right along with Mary Jo. You can tell Mary Jo was an educator for thirty years because she has a way with kids. Her warm personality envelops them and her child-friendly stories sweep them into a world of whimsy. Of course, there’s plenty of learning but it’s intrinsic and not preachy. Flap your wings to “Chicken Fun,” dance and twirl with the “Gingerbread Girl,” learn how greed has dire consequences in the tale “Old Lady in the Vinegar Bottle,” and make funny faces in “5 Little
Monkeys.” Mary Jo demonstrates that storytelling can be simple and fun. In the bonus features, Mary Jo even teaches you how to make one of her mega-cool signature peeper puppets. (You HAVE to see this.) Fairy Tales, Fantasy and Storytellin’ Fun brings words to life in the coolest way possible: through imagination. A great DVD for the family or the classroom.
