I ran across "Stars in the Pool and Other Stories" while browsing childrens picture books for Kindle and decided to give it a try that night as I read to my kids. I have to say that each of these kids short stories were engaging, fun, well-written and had a great moral message for the reader to absorb. D.R. Tara does a wonderful job of keeping the stories lighthearted and entertaining while including messages about morality, love, honor, honesty and more that kids need to take to heart as they grow up. My children really enjoyed the stories and the cute little illustrations that went along with them that added an extra layer to the inspirational tales. What I liked about the short story collection was that it used a base of folklore myths and legends to explore the depth and value of moral balance in wonderful ways. Overall, this was a great little collection of kids short stories that was well worth the purchase and I would recommend the collection to kids and parents looking for entertaining and inspiring stories to read.
