Review: Short Stories For Children
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 3, 2013
This book is a collection of short stories for children that are written in rhyme. The stories and rhymes are cute with a bit of amusing wit thrown in here and there. The stories all include a little lesson, like the value of using one's head before reacting to scary events and the fact that good manners, rather than a good pedigree, are a sign of good breeding.I think the story about thunder is an especially useful one to refer back to when children are afraid of thunder and lightning, in order to quiet their fears. Some examples of some of the other lessons taught here, are learning to accept who you are and recognizing your own strengths instead of envying someone else's, as well as not judging a person before you really get a chance to know them.The rhythm and rhyme of these little cautionary tales will have your little ones asking for them again and again, giving your child a chance to internalize the valuable life lessons taught in the stories. You and your child will love them.
