A great read! Enjoy this book slowly and savor the words and lessons. Great book that I highly recommend.

The book has an excellent quality and presentation by Shambala Publications, Inc. The content is exquisite, on the one hand the magnificent illustrations that build the soul, on the other the stories that we can share as a family to reflect and deepen our experiences of daily life. A good book to create moments that strengthen wisdom and family unity. Also to develop deep values, that touch our spiritual aspect, to be more integral and to experience greater satisfaction in life.

The Show Off Monkey and Other Taoist Takes was an amazing read. It reminded me a great deal of The Big Book of Virtues but from another culture. I enjoyed the many stories and loved the line of sage advice at the end. I can see many uses for this book in the classroom and can't wait to share it with my colleagues and use it in my own class.

This is a book of retold Chinese fables, based on the writings of the ancient philosopher Chang Tzu but written in modern language that any child could follow.

The tales are very short and each has a morale at the end to teach the reader something about the foibles of human nature.

The pictures are beautifully done and in full color in what looks like an oriental style. Overall the book is beautifully presented and would make a nice gift to a child, though adults would enjoy it too!
