Bitsy is a narrator-in-training who is finally ready to tell her story since she has found the perfect protagonist, the grumpy wizard Boozle. Bitsy and Boozle take the adventure of a lifetime as they journey up Story Mountain exploring all the parts of story structure along the way and discovering the magic of storytelling.
Bitsy & Boozle Tell a Story is an amazing way to help children learn about all of the different components of storytelling in an unique format, a graphic novel. In this book you learn the different points-of-view a story can have with a character that tells a story in each way; first person Prima, second person Midi, and finally third person Bitsy. Although this is a graphic novel that is teaching the reader how to tell a story, the authors do an amazing job of balancing the educational material with a fun story. Bitsy and Boozle have a fun relationship with Boozle just trying to find his happy ending, but Bitsy trying to get him to play the hero of the story. I absolutely love this book and think it’s an amazing way for a caregiver or teacher to help teach children about the parts of storytelling and how they can tell a story. At the end of the book here is a glossary of the different terms used and even a glossary to help with Boozle’s way of talking. The illustrations are beautifully done and I found myself laughing out loud. I would recommend this to caregivers and teachers trying to help children learn about storytelling, but also anyone who needs a refresher on the different parts of a story.
