Why are some people afraid of these stories?

Anyone who has spent time observing children and their behavior, in or out of school, understands the importance of what Mr. Bennett has done in writing this book. As a jr. high teacher it is saddening to see so many young people emulating the values which our media has taught them. As a father of two small children I thought this book would be a good tool to help my wife and I teach values to our children, however it has served as a wonderful collection of important cultural reminders to use in our daily life.

A Counter to some of the Negative Reviews

[...] This book is good for people. It is filled with lovely, interesting stories about being good to ourselves and others. I have owned this book for a while and it is one of my favorites. Unless you hate moral stories, you'll love this book.

Buy it for someone you love.

Last Christmas I bought this and Moral Compass for all my relatives. This is a gift that keeps on giving, with stories your nieces, nephews and grandchildren should hear.

Total Can't-Live-Without Book -- a Must Have

And it is the number one book i recommend you buy this year to read to your children and to refresh and entertain and inspire yourself. You will love it, hands down.

A good resource for teachers

... I find the book a good resource for classroom discussion starters and quick "read aloud" selections. Some selections in the anthology are worthless, but I know of no other book that draws together such a wide selection of Western moral classics, told for the most part in modern language.
