Fables by Arnold Lobel

All the miles of a hard road are worth a moment of true happiness.

I enjoy fables. It's a nice way to illustrate various lessons and morals and pass them along to children somewhat subtly. Especially when you take the wordcraft and illustrations of [a:Arnold Lobel|12447|Arnold Lobel|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1201019183p2/12447.jpg] ([b:Frog and Toad|18085528|Frog and Toad Storybook Treasury 4 Complete Stories in 1 Volume!|Arnold Lobel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1375144266l/18085528._SX50_.jpg|25396166]).

The children enjoyed the stories. Some of them, they understood and laughed at. Some went right over their heads. Some honestly didn't make that much sense even to me. I don't even agree with all of the morals, but that gives you a chance to talk about it afterwords, which is worthwhile. Plus, they're fun little stories and each individual one is a quick, self-contained read.

A child's conduct will reflect the ways of his parents.

I hope to be worthy.
