Disney's Winnie The Pooh Academy has brought together a panel of storytelling experts which includes broadcaster and mum of two, Zoe Ball, child psychologist Emma Kenny, and Disney’s Justine Finch, in order to create the Winnie the Pooh Storytelling Academy. The Academy is an online resource offering a wide range of tips, tricks and guidance designed to show modern parents and grandparents how both traditional and modern multimedia storytelling techniques can help them achieve a rich, shared family story time experience.
I recently posted their reading tips for Grandparents here and Disney kindly have offered a Winnie The Pooh book and DVD to Given To Distracting Others as a prize.
