What first drew us to this book were the gorgeous and fanciful illustrations. What kept our attention, though, were the ideas that were gently promoted in each story. We have given "Love Your Neighbor" to all the little ones in our family -- they of course love the stories AND enjoy answering the questions at the end of each one.

Here we have stories that illustrate kindness, decency, ethics and morality for all ages. Those that read allowed to their children will experience a lovely surprise in that they learn as well. The illustrations in this handsome volume are an experience in themselves. Should be recommended reading for everyone who truly enjoys the sights and sounds and meanings of a really good book. This will stay with you long after you have gone back to it for the tenth time!

Love Your Neighbor is a beautifully illustrated book of 13 stories which feature exotically named animals. Each story tells of a situation which can readily be applied to children. At the end of each story there is a question which can be asked by parents or teachers or the independent reader and the answers will provide some thinking about morals, values and how to be good to one another. My kids love it and find different answers each time we read it.

Enjoyed this book immensely. Each story is beautiful, yet also practical. At the end of the story there are questions which you can use to open up a discussion with your child. I look forward to sharing such discussions with my son when he is older (he is only 4 months old). Although he is very young and could not understand the stories, he was very attracted to the exquisite illustrations.

The stories and illustrations in this book are darling. I recommend this for anyone, especially those who are deliberately trying to provide and encourage moral education.
