Aunt Lottie's Rocking Chair Tales: Short Stories for the Child in Us All (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438990071)

Description: Each story presented is drawn from a multi-colored tapestry of childhood woven from a time when life embraced character and was safe and happy. Each thread, or chapter, weaves a bit of soul into each scene, whether it rings fact or fiction. The characters come to life and share their lessons of faith, kindness and imagination in a very charming and vivid way that children and their parents can relate to as well as remember. Stories range from contemporary morality tales to flights of fantasy that guide and teach in a delightful way, reminding us of time that was gone too quickly. What may we learn from these stories? Practical lessons such as trying new foods (Miracle Soup), dealing with allergies ("...The Sniffit"), Chicken pox ("...Boogie Bug Boy"), Studying and minding your parents resulting in character building("..Reflection of Jonathan Bundy"), children of faith ("...Young Child Shall Lead Them"), or fantasy mixed with travel, learning new countries and their languages (Mrs. Moffitt and the Magic Chalkboard"). These stories are all delivered with a spoonful of honey and an armful of love. Audience: These stories are mostly focused on children ranging from 7-11 years of age. However the older children will read and explore the excitement on their own. They will learn of new lands, new vocabulary words plus foreign languages in a fun way. Their learning tools are about cause and effect, wisdom, making right choices, travel and just having plain fun. These stories speak to the child in us all and we want to read more about the young characters and their adventures and life lesson.
