This is another one of those books that offers so many insights into life, and living. It's set up as a series of stories, folk tales, etc. that are meant to teach lessons to young and old alike. I think of this book more as a reference than anything else and I look forward to sharing these words of wisdom from all over the world with my son.

This is a book of short stories that teach values and virtues such as courage, honesty, dependability etc. I read this book to my kids and we enjoyed all the stories immensely.

I've read bits and pieces of this book over the years and love the short moral stories. I have read many of them to my children to try to teach lessons!
