We purchased this book so that we could read it aloud to our grandchildren. The very first few stories are good and provided a basis for some conversations with them. However, as we progressed through the book, the stories became heavier and did not lead to good discussions. As our oldest grandchild said, "These are becoming intense".

Wise Words is a collection of fables that, of course, have morals at the end. The stories are much better than Aesop. Leithart writes in a way that is easy to read aloud to your kids. My kids are totally captivated to the end of each one. I heartily agree that Wise Words is "Family Stories".
On the other hand, I had trouble using the stories in the book to "Bring the Proverbs to Life". The Moral (a verse or two from Proverbs) at the end of each story only loosely correlated with the story.
Nevertheless, this book is written from a godly perspective and is good for kids to hear and parents to read. There's nothing like a story to really teach the heart.

If you love to read to your children, like you were read to long ago when you were little, than you will love this book! Remember those Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories that were the moral little tales meant to make us better kids? Well, these stories are reminiscent of those, and others, like Grimm's Fairy Tales, only based on the Proverbs of life found in the Bible. Each little story is the perfect 'little read' to go with that goodnight kiss and can be read in about five minutes. Each story has a moral and great little grey and white illustrations that my kids loved. Our family loved this 'once upon a time' book and it will become your family favorite, too!

My children loved the stories. They had great moral value without being preachy. My children, who are very artistic themselves, especially loved the illustrations.
