The Story Corner with Bear is a podcast devoted to storytelling and engaging the imagination and will bring to you both original children's stories and folk tales from around the world. At the end of each story, a Word of the Day will be reviewed - this is a word in the story that children may not be familiar with but will learn, in order to increase their vocabulary and develop a love for language. Listen during drive time, bedtime, quiet time and anytime! The stories are appropriate for all ages and vary in length, from simple, fun stories to more involved multi-episode adventures. All stories are told by Bear, a writer, storyteller and father of 4 young cubs. For more information, visit www.ToddThistle.com
