Warm and cheerful reads for bedtime

A new title among Lion's popular Five-Minute titles, which include Five-Minute Bible Stories (Augsburg), Christmas Stories, Animal Stories, and Parables. Here are ten amusing stories with a theme suitable for bedtime—always goodhearted and morally uplifting, yet curiously mischievous as well!

John Goodwin's warm and witty writing combines with Stephen Waterhouse's vibrantly detailed illustrations to bring these traditional folktales to life. A one-line introduction summarizes the moral of each story. Morals include gentle persuasion as better than rough force, families are stronger when they work together, and the importance of sharing, wisdom, and kindness.

Stories include: The Wind and the Sun, Stone Soup, The Shoemaker's Slippers, The Greatest Pearl in the World, The Golden Goose, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Three Bundles of Sticks, The Giant's Footprint, Green Leaves, and Two Islands.
