Customer Rating: 

I found this product to be a little deep for kids, and it mainly just contains pretty basic Buddhist parables. I can find the same parables online and by my estimation, they charged way too much for the book.

Customer Rating: 

Even if the kids have fallen asleep, I'll often read one of the stories before bed.

This is a wonderful book and well designed. It is perfect for a short story time with a discussion of meaning. Many of the stories are classic Buddhist tales. Each story has a short saying in between it which come to have their own value. Whether you would like to introduce your child to Buddhism or simple wish to have a vehicle with which to discuss life and values, this is a quality investment.

This book is an excellent book to introduce children to Buddhist (and Taoist) philosophy with simple parables and tales.

First I used this book with my children as we learned about different religions and spiritual views. As they got older we visited it again because these Buddhist stories are applicable to so many situations in life regardless of your views on God, theist, or atheist.
Now as a religious education teacher of younger people at the Unitarian Universalist fellowship I use this book extensively when teaching about buddhism, kindness, compassion and many other concepts. Well written and engaging for all ages, but best for elementary school age children. My middle schoolers still love the stories.
