Moral Stories For Kids: Fables, Myths & Other StoriesThis book is a compilation of some timeless legendary stories. Separate stories were scattered across different media. The intention was to record them in a book. Children's parents were children once too. All of us have heard these stories from our elders in our childhood. We also read them in books. Interspersed in these stories are some important life lessons, teaching, and values - which I think are very much helpful in a child's future to make decisions when requires. It also helps to become a complete person. Hence these stories are immortalized beyond the boundaries of countries and eras. I have written this book with the help and research of many fables, foreign literature, folklore, expert opinions, and historians. Children are its intended readers. If they and their parents like this book, I will consider my efforts worthwhile. Hope you will collect the book and recommend it to others to do so. |
