I pretty much have to love this. It is the story of stories: they are ancient, they are important, they are everywhere. ( )

This story is simple. It is the history of itself. How it started and where it is now. The illustrations are nice and overall I think this would make a lovely story time read. ( )

From cave drawings to the invention of the printing press to our digital age, discover how a story has been told in many different ways from the past to today. It’s always been around, making us happy, sad, excited, or scared and bringing people together.

With simple text and delightful illustrations, Dan Yaccarino reminds us of the power of story. (amazon)

This beautifully illustrated picture book goes throughout he history of how people have been documenting stories though the ages. The longevity and importance of a story is an idea that is emphasized.

I love how this book brings together all the contexts in which stories are important. From how we have historically saved these stories like in tapestries or cave walls, all the way to the modern conveyors of stories we all use--handheld device, stories are so important to people. Stories really will live forever.

I loved this book so much. Although it wasn't innovative on a heavily impressionable level, it's main theme and message makes up for it. This book is a simple portrayal of a brief history of stories. Humans hear stories constantly. Therefore it is easy to take for granted the importance that stories plays in our lives. This book shows the reader just how much of an impact stories had, and continue to have, on our lives. It also shows how stories are told by people from all over the world, and although the stories may be different, they're all capable of making us feel happy, sad, excited, frightened, and inspired. I also loved how there were a few pop culture references that I spotted, which further reinforced the idea that stories play vital functions in all of our lives every single day. As long as there are people, there will always be stories. ( )
