In this collection of stories about children, parents and children alike learn lessons about God and about life.

• Clarence has the same disease his friend had who died, but Father and Mother help him to know that it is God who is in control of life and death.
• David finds how much better truth is than trying to cover up wrong.
• Elsie cannot sew or type like her big sisters, but she is just the right size for many other jobs.
• Carolyn finds that a book found in the bushes is one that will fill her mind with poison.
• Abbie learns that even when Mother goes out during church she needs to be good.
• Lois finds that candy given to keep her from telling the truth does not "taste" very good.
• Verna prays for Sister Janice.
• Eldon discovers how special Mother is.
• William begins to understand that if he wants to be a Samuel when he grows up, he had better listen and obey right now.

These children, and dozens of others, fill this collection of stories with true-to-life examples of boys and girls learning to please their parents, and appreciate God's ways. Parents will find many practical pointers for dealing with various situations they face with their children.

An ideal book when your child comes and says, "Please read me a story."
