Sure we'd all love to be able to go around telling stories about all the weird, scary, and just-plain-annoying people that we know. But the truth is, no one likes a gossip. Here, the irrepressible Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith have found a way around that problem - they just make like Aesop and change all the people to animals or food, add a moral to each story, and call the stories fables!

The question "What is good and evil?" may seem simple, but as the book shows, it's more complex than you might think. This sort of philosophical thinking, though often reserved for college students, can broaden the thinking of younger children. The works of different philosophers are used to explore this important question in clear, simple language and in terms that children ages 10 and older can understand.

Having a pet dragon is very fun! He can sit, roll over, and play. He can candle a birthday cake, light a campfire, or so many other cool things. But what if your dragon doesn’t know what integrity means and shows no positive moral behaviors? What if he says he would do something but does the opposite when you’re not looking? What if he cheats on his math test? What if he steals? What if he lies? What if he never keeps his promises? And more?

Una voz dulce, pero que la estimula y le otorga fuerza, anima a la cervatilla a enfrentar sus temores cuando encuentra un obstáculo en forma de una barrera infranqueable.
