Fewer things can be more precious to a parent, than spending meaningful, quality time with their children. I got a copy of this book for just that purpose - to use for those special times we have together as a family & I have not been disappointed. At the end of the day, I enjoy taking some time before they go to bed to read, talk & enjoy each others' company. I have reserved "Chicken Soup for the Kids Soul" for those special times. I have to hide the book so my kids won't read ahead of where we have left off. And when I am done reading, they don't want to stop. It has been more than just a book. It has been a springboard for meaningful family discussions, to talk about situations & how we feel about them, what we would do, & how we would react. To laugh, cry, feel & be touched by the lives of those around us. It helps us to see the bigger picture, & how much more there is to this world & the people & children world-wide than what we could ever see, hear, or experience ourselves. I believe I am learning just as much - if not more from it than my children are, & would highly recommend it for other families, parents & children. It's something which can be experienced in so many ways.

A great book for all ages! has interesting stories about kids all over the US. some of them will even make you cry.

I am a mother of a 6 and 7 year old. This is an excellent book for their age and also older children(a 9 year old neighbor borrowed the book until she read it all). The stories touch your soul so deeply and some will make you laugh, some will make you cry. EXCELLENT!!!
