D.R. Tara consistently provides good kids' books, and "Flying Elephants and Other Stories" is just another example of terrific kids' illustrated books.  As a kids' book by age 5-8, I can read this to my kindergartener, yet it is also one of the childrens books by ages 9-12 that interests her older brother.  Each of the stories has a morale at the end which allows parents and children to communicate the lesson further with examples in their lives.  For example, "The Handsome Prince"s is a story that beauty can fade away, but the value of a person is on the inside.  Young readers will have their eyes opened about inner and outer beauty while older readers can relate this lesson to other lessons they have learned about different types of beauty.  This is one of the childrens' picture books for Kindle that is a keeper.
