Throughout history, traditional cultures have recognized the role of storytelling in teaching values to children. Yet most educators have not fully capitalized on the connection between storytelling, folktales, and character education.
Based on the book by the same name, The Moral of the Story shows that character education, using storytelling and folktales from cultures around the world, can be fun, enjoyable, non-didactic, and remarkably effective—especially when enhanced by Bobby and Sherry Norfolk's energetic, charming interpretations.
Included here are six fun, time- and audience-tested tales accessible to listeners of all ages, from preschool to high school. Sit back, relax, and enjoy these teaching tales from generations past.
