With words to watch for and "Do you remember" at the end of the chapters, this book provides a great learning experience. Teach values along with improving reading skills. An older book that should never go out of style.

Very inspirational and nor preachy at all. Some of the writers hit personal notes so close to home it will bring tears. Other writers often use humorous touch. Each story in and by itself is worth reading.
