The Children's Treasury of Virtues
The Children's Treasury of Virtues
Author:
In The Children's Book of Virtues, William J. Bennett and Michael Hague have created a spectacular compilation of timeless stories, poems, songs, and folktales in which every family can find an inexhaustible store of delight and inspiration. Containing the complete text and illustrations from their three earlier collaborations -- The C... more » and The Children's Book of America -- this vital anthology belongs on the bookshelf of every home. In The Children's Book of Virtues, parents can introduce their children to stories and poems by Aesop, Robert Frost, and more, illustrating the essential components of virtue: Courage, Perseverance, Responsibility, Work, Self-Discipline, Compassion, Faith, Honesty, Loyalty, and Friendship. From "St. George and the Dragon" to "George Washington and the Cherry Tree," here are tales to cherish forever. In The Children's Book of Heroes, families will find examples of heroism illustrated by stories ancient and new. Here are Theseus and the Minotaur, David and Goliath, Jackie Robinson, Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller. As the author writes, "We all need a hero or two to help us stand fast and think right." From Robert E. Lee tending a wounded soldier to Abigail Adams's bravery, to Martin Luther King's dream, to Walt Whitman listening to America sing, The Children's Book of America completes the trilogy with an unforgettable celebration of our nation's history and character. Filled with wonderful paintings by Michael Hague, each one especially commissioned for the three earlier books, and introduced and edited by William J. Bennett, The Children's Treasury of Virtues is an unforgettable celebration of the traits that are the essential building blocks of good character, heroic deeds, and a great nation.
