About this title: Maybe it's the king who spills honey, and then says it is not his problem until it causes a war. Or maybe it's some sandpipers and whales who get into a foolish fight that almost destroys their homes. Perhaps it's the man who thinks that a gun makes him strong, or the monkeys who follow their leader into water that's too deep.

"This book has lots of great stories to tell children. My children love the stories from this book. I don't read the stories, I recite them with hand puppets or just with lots of gusto. They have no idea they come from this great book and they ask to hear them over and over. The best part is every story has a deeper meaning/moral to it. So after telling them the story we discuss the meaning/moral behind the story."
"I'd actually give this one a 3 1/2 if there were half stars. It's a collection of tales about peace that are short enough or repetitious enough to be told aloud. I found the stories themselves to be uneven in quality, some being very good, and others being...blah. Interspersed with the stories were proverbs and sayings from different cultures, which were often quite good. My favorite stories were "Reaching for the Moon" from Tibet, "Not Our Problem" from Burma and Thailand, "The War Between the Sandpipers and the Whales" from the Marshall Islands, "The Lion's Whisker" from Ethiopia, "Slops" from Wales, "Heaven and Hell" from China, and "The Rose Prince" from Romania. Recommended for storytellers!"
