It is one of the most popular moral primers ever written, an inspiring anthology that helps children understand and develop character—and helps parents teach it to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThirty years ago, readers thought that the times were right for a book about moral literacy. Back then, Americans worried that schools were no longer parents’ allies in teaching good character. As the book’s original introduction noted, “moral anchors and moorings have never been more necessary.” If that was true in the 1990s, it is even more true today. The explosion of information with the Internet has left many unsure of what is valuable and what is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResponsibility. Courage. Compassion. Loyalty. Honesty. Friendship. Persistence. Hard work. Self-discipline. Faith. These remain the essentials of good character. \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Virtues\u003c\/em\u003e contains hundreds of exemplary stories offering children examples of good and bad, right and wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the Bible, American history, Greek mythology, English poetry, fairy tales, and modern fiction, William J. and Elayne Bennett show children the many virtuous paths they can follow—and the ones they ought to avoid. For the 30th anniversary edition, the Bennetts have slimmed down the book’s contents, while also finding room to introduce such figures as Mother Teresa, Colin Powell, and heroes of 9\/11 and the War in Afghanistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a rich mine of moral literacy to teach a new generation of children about American culture, history, and traditions—ultimately, the ideals by which we wish to live our lives. The updated edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Virtues\u003c\/em\u003e will continue a legacy of raising moral children far into a new century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46510566605036,"sku":"9781982197117","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20580703482893.jpg?v=1748799313"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/william-j-bennett.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
