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.

George Washington and the Cherry Tree
