101 Moral Stories

Honesty, courage, kindness and perseverance sit at the centre of the hundred and one short tales gathered in this OM Books collection. Each story carries a lesson without stopping to explain it at length, which leaves room for a child to work out the point and for an adult to ask what they made of it. The pieces are short, self-contained and drawn from both traditional and contemporary sources, so a reader can open the book anywhere. Teachers use collections like this for classroom discussion slots; families use them at bedtime or on weekend afternoons. The reading level suits primary-age children reading alone as well as younger listeners. Why this one holds up: • Stories grouped around virtues children meet in daily life • Self-contained pieces that can be read in any order • Material that opens easily into classroom or family discussion • Suitable for independent primary readers and read-aloud sessions alike Teachers, parents and anyone assembling a values-based reading shelf for younger children will find this OM Books collection worth adding, available from Boipoka.
