CHILDREN’S STORIES
Children’s stories often contain metaphoric content and may be good sources for stimulating creative
ideas. In addition, they illustrate the nature of stories, the process for structuring stories, and the art
of communicating them. Here are just a few examples. Check your library and bookshops for the
many others available.
