Customer Reviews

Tales of wisdom enjoyable by young and old alike

I read this book as a child and enjoyed it then, but even moreso as a parent reading it my kids. While this book invokes a sense of nostalgia, its timeless quality provides an opportunity to teach (and learn) ethics and morality in a non-preachy way. These warm and sometimes dramatic stories teach that wisdom is worth acquiring, that wisdom can be and should be used for good, but that wisdom also involves the wisdom to use our abilities in a modest manner. I have chosen to read it to my children over the span of a few months so that we can savor and discuss the stories. Stories of King Solomon is a delight.
