Meet talking skunks, hunt for bears, yodel in the Alps, slurp lollipops, make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, squish-squash through some mud, and listen to a wild variety of characters read a well-known tale, all in a little less than an hour. Yep! That's "Stories with a TWIST!"

Barb's musical storytelling assemblies are high-energy, exciting and fun. As a talented singer and actress, she brings to her audiences an action-packed program guaranteed to entertain pre-school children through adults.

"Stories with a TWIST" are hilarious, interactive programs for children and families. Those who have seen her agree: You'll laugh out loud as you join in on the fun!"

Barb's programs encourage children to listen intently, participate and follow directions, think and feel, visualize characters, settings and plot, interpret new vocabulary words, and become totally immersed in the experience. And most of all, listening to crazy, silly stories and songs allows children to have fun with language and literacy!

Highlight your YOUNG WRITERS & POETS!
Let Barb highlight some of your young writers and poets during her assembly at your school. If you send some of your students' original silly folk tales or poems to Barb (at least two weeks before the performance date) she will choose a few to highlight and act out during her program. Barb will invite each student who has been selected to join her on stage while she performs the student's own story or special poem. What a great boost for young writers!
