• For those educators that are looking for new material to use when teaching character education, this book will find a place on their resource shelf. Recommended.

• As more and more school systems are adding "character education" to their curricula, book approval committees are finding that the number of new titles on value education is swelling. Some of these titles are good and some are not so good. Fortunately, Livo- an educator and storyteller for over 50 years- has written one that is very good....This reviewer, a public school teacher at a middle school where every Friday "homebase" period is dedicated, schoolwide, to "character education," will certainly be using some of the shorter stories for discussion on Friday mornings with her class.
