Children's Writer's Word Book

The Children's Writer's Word Book is a very good resource for what you are looking for. It is quite readable (will hold your interest) and has enough material to help you generate unlimited plots and story elements all the while providing ideas that will be age appropriate and yet not simple and boring.

It also lists numerous resources which can lead you to other helpful information.

The book is not just a list of words though it does provide word lists that can also be very helpful in stimulating ideas for story generation too.

Another book that is also good is Writing Picture Books.
It can help you to think about what a story is and how to make it come alive in pictures and provides plotting ideas that will be interesting. Since it is based on telling a story visually, it will help with your oral type of stories as you attempt to describe the scenes.
