Everyone recognizes these traits as essentials of good character. In order for our children to develop such traits, we have to offer them examples of good and bad, right and wrong. And the best places to find them are in great works of literature and exemplary stories from history. Bennett has collected hundreds of stories in this instructive and inspiring anthology that will help children understand and develop character -- and help adults teach them. From the Bible to American history, from Greek mythology to English poetry, from fairy tales to modern fiction, these stories are a rich mine of moral literacy, a reliable moral reference point that will help anchor our children and ourselves in our culture, our history, and our traditions -- the sources of the ideals by which we wish to live our lives. Complete with instructive introductions and notes, this is a book the whole family can read and enjoy -- and learn from -- together. 868614 1993 The Book of Virtues: A Treasury of Great Moral Stories total:395|5:141|4:147|3:80|2:18|1:9| 395 1578 635 69 2 1 false false Fri Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 03 13:20:02 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 04 14:05:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 07 09:37:50 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 07 09:57:34 -0700 2007 The Book of Virtues is a very large collection of interesting fiction, non-fiction, children's poems, Greek myth, biblical stories, inspiring speeches once given, historical figures' j...more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue May 19 19:41:12 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 23:51:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat May 16 06:07:44 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 06:14:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Wed Feb 18 19:57:13 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 19:57:13 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Tue Dec 09 06:12:53 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 06:14:24 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Sep 24 18:01:48 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 18:01:48 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 08 13:11:07 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 13:12:21 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 09:15:14 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 09:16:09 -0700 2009 A keeper for every family's bookshelf.]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jun 18 19:19:48 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 19:21:07 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Jun 09 08:02:34 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 08:03:42 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 12 23:16:37 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 23:17:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jul 22 16:18:02 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 16:31:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Apr 27 11:38:52 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 11:39:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Aug 30 22:01:20 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 22:01:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 11:28:49 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 11:29:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 23 14:22:40 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 14:22:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 07:31:26 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 07:32:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 02 18:22:07 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 18:22:52 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jul 30 07:26:32 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 07:27:41 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=25774
