Summary:Using stories written for young children can be effective in the education of college students. Storytelling is a helpful instructional method that is relevant to many management topics. This activity uses picture books, which can be read to students in “story hour” fashion and then tied to management principles being taught. This activity can be done successfully with either undergraduate or graduate students. The activity is described from a general perspective; in the appendices, we provide seven examples of book summaries, learning objectives, teaching notes, potential challenges, and debriefing questions that have been used to address a variety of management topics.
