Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding selection of stories
Comment: I love this book, and use it regularly as nighttime reading for my young girls. Beautiful lessons are taught through memorable stories.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great examples of virtues needed in today's society
Comment: Everything was what I expected. The book is a great source of information as I teach these virtues to my children. The stories are fun and yet they help myself and my children to understand the virtue we are studying. I would recommend this to anyone with children of all ages.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful for Adults as Well
Comment: Although this book is aimed at "young people" and for ages "10 and up" it is a wonderful, interesting, uplifting, thought-provoking, and fantastic read for adults as well! I love this book - I'm 29 years old and I enjoy every fable, tidbit, short story, and examples from history that demonstrate virtues in this book. Easy to read, but not childlike at the same time. I am applying what I have learned from this book in my daily life and life feels so much better to me. I was taught honesty, responsibility, and other "virtues" as a child, but never was exposed to it via short stories and this route of learning. I love this book and highly recommend it to adult individuals of all ages, parents, teachers - EVERYONE. Get a copy for yourself and/or give as a gift. I can't say enough about positive things about this book! :)

Customer Rating:
Summary: Granddaughter therapy.
Comment: This was a Christmas gift to a fourteen year old grand daughter. When I signed the book to her I wrote "don't let the title put you off. The stories are wonderful."
At last contact she was halfway thru the book and loved the stories. If nothing else it will give her another resource for decisions.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Warm and wonderful way to teach values
Comment: Bill Bennett has done it again with The Book of Virtues For Young People. Reading the stories aloud to my children is an excellent way to talk about and open the discussion of the important virtues brought to light in this book. History, fantasy, poetry are all included in this marvelous book. The stories gently lead and guide young minds to WANT to do the right and to understand why. I highly recommend this to parents and children of all ages!
