Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Many public schools are currently involved in programs to instill self-esteem, values, and conflict resolving techniques in their children. Tales from the Dragon's Cave is a valuable adjunct to these programs. Teachers and other professionals can use the book as an introduction to other more academic materials. -- Washington Counseletter, April 1996
The art of the storyteller is a subtle one, and this is especially true when the stories that are told are designed to teach as well as entertain, and especially true when they must reach an audience of any age. In Tales from the Dragon's Cave, Arlene Williams establishes herself as a master of the art, with stories that balance reality and fantasy, entertainment and education, and sophistication and clarity in a way that will appeal to listeners and readers of any age, from the youngest toddler through the "grumpiest old man". This a wonderful book as the stories are delightful, informative, and exceptionally well-designed for either oral telling or reading. -- James B. Boskey, The Alternative Newsletter, November 1996

From the Back Cover
"At a time when our kids are inundated with negativity and violence, it is refreshing to read hopeful tales which help teach children to feel good about themselves, to look for the good in others, and to seek peaceful solutions to the problems they will inevitably confront. This book reveals important messages for all of us." (Pat Montandon, Children as the Peacemakers)
"The stories read very easily and certainly captivate the imagination! I think young children will immensely enjoy reading or listening to these tales. I very much appreciate the depiction of both girls and boys from many different cultures as the protagonists of the stories." (Andrea Spencer-Linzie, Jane Addams Peace Association)
"An excellent resource for teaching peace, conflict resolution and non-violence. The stories are all creatively and vividly told and impart valuable lessons without becoming overly moralistic or preachy. I will recommend this book to any parent, educator or counselor seeking to teach a different path for today's children." (Carol Williams, Peace Links)
