Telling the right story at the right time can help children face challenges and change behavior. All 42 stories in this book begin with an undesirable or out-of-balance situation. Then, through metaphor and an imaginative story journey, they lead to a more desirable resolution. The stories also have the potential to nurture positive values. Following the alphabet from A to Z, each behavior is identified in the story title: angry, anxious, bullying, demanding, fussy, greedy, jealous, loud, obnoxious, quibbling, uncooperative, and so on. The stories, some humorous, some serious, are especially relevant for children aged three to nine years—and the child in every adult! They are for telling and adapting: turn them into home-made picture books or puppet shows, or even create new tales from them.
