Introducing a Story for the First Time

How do you introduce a story where a lot of the information included in the book may be new to children listening? Create a well thought out introduction that will help children to understand the story. This video was recently recorded at a Barnes & Noble Storytime, and is a suggestion of one way to introduce the book, “Something’s Tugging on My Claw!” We’d love to hear your suggestions of other successful ways you’ve used to introduce a new story to your children or class.
