A Child's Book of Values
Classic Stories from Around the World; Interactive Edition
A Child's Book of Values is a collection of stories from different cultures around the world, each story illustrating a different virtue.
"Fairy tales, fables, parables, examples, stories, epigrams, epic poems, ballads-all have transmitted the science of life from generation to generation since the remotest times. They not only educate the individual but mold the thoughts of a people."
The twenty-six stories come from many cultures, but as the case with most good literature, they are universal. With engaging full-color illustrations and clever design elements, this is a book to pick up and read to little ones and to give to middle schoolers to read themselves. School libraries will find this to be a wonderful addition to their collection.
