3.0 out of 5 stars Not for 4 year olds
I got this for my 4 year old daughter. I would suggest waiting a year or two longer. Some of the stories are long and overly complex and minimally illustrated. The short ones are often hard to interpret to a young child (the story of the two monks carrying the young woman across the water for example, my child is a little young to get much out of a story who's moral is...

3.0 out of 5 stars Diverse stories of Zen parables with varying lengths., September 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wisdom of the Crows and Other Buddhist Tales (Paperback)
The book includes 13 Zen parables and folktales from Japan, India, China, Tibet and Burma. It is interesting but the length and complexity vary a lot from story to story. Smaller children (4-6 years old) may be ready for the shorter ones while this book needs more illustration to attract their attention. A good book overall.
