Journey Around Boston A to Z
By Martha Day Zschock

Dodie recently did a musical theatrical interactive version of this book, from A (for Abolitionists) to Z (for Zooadopters) for a bookstore in Medford, MA, and it was very well received by all, so there are possibilities here for the imaginative reader who knows Boston and can perhaps fill in a little backstory, and can sing and dance.

Creative Storytelling Choosing, Inventing, and Sharing Tales for Children
By Jack Macguire

"A story told to a child is truly, in the words of Lewis Carroll, a 'love gift'.
