These were fun fables that had both cultural and spiritual applications. I think that these types of stories have a larger impact for children, because it gives them something to compare the spiritual lessons too. If my child is anything like me I need something real and concrete to help myself fully understand.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This book is beautifully illustrated and full of wise stories with lessons to learn from them.
After each short story is a page with quotes on relating to the lesson learned in each story.
The tales are short but well written, easy to follow and understand.
I definitely want to get a paper copy of this book.

This is a lovely collection of fables and stories for young children. Each fable teaches a life lesson thats easy to grasp and understand. The illustrations are delightful. My children and I love this book. It's one we'll return to again and again. We highly recommend it!

It contains 8 fables with moral lessons for little kids.
Best part is its artwork which is eye-catching and well suited to story.
It conveys extra message even more than intended by captions.
It is soul and highlight of the book.
I liked story of fox and rabbit and story of turtle on wood log; the most.
Other stories are fine but at points they seem to end suddenly and unexpectedly.
You can't predict it is going to climax.
Vocabulary is suitable for kids above 6 years.
Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.
