Short stories carry lessons more easily than instruction does, which is the principle behind this Dreamland Publications collection of one hundred and one tales.
Each story is brief enough for a single sitting and ends on a clear point about honesty, kindness, responsibility or courage. The language suits children reading independently at around seven or eight, while younger listeners can follow when an adult reads aloud. Illustrations break up the text and give a reader a picture to hold onto once the story ends.
The essentials:
• One hundred and one short tales, each built around a single value
• Themes including honesty, respect, kindness and personal responsibility
• Reading length suited to bedtime or a classroom story slot
• Illustrated pages that keep younger listeners engaged
Useful for parents, primary teachers and anyone working on character education with children aged roughly five to ten, this Dreamland Publications collection is stocked at Boipoka.
