Beantime Stories

Beantime Stories
On warm, sunny afternoons, you're likely to find children knocking on the door of Tippity Witchet's windmill house asking her to tell them a Beantime Story. Tippity is always happy to see them. She invites the children to pick ripe jellybeans from her garden to eat while she tells her tales. You should find a comfy place to sit and join them to hear some of their favorite stories. Tippity might even recite a poem or two. Scroll down to see titles and intended audiences Big News! Note to parents and teachers: would you like to expand your children's vocabularies in a playful new way? Please note: most of these stories do not include audio files. We recently did create video versions of Two Brave Pixies and Three Pumpkin Pirates and uploaded them to YouTube to attract visitors to Meddybemps.com. Share these presentations with children, but keep reading to them as well. Related:  Read and Listen Along and Aloud Resources
