Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the books with the above title are wonderful additions to the many children books that I have read to my children and my grandchildren. The stories will stimulate the minds of youngsters to think creatively and to learn the challenge of solving problems.

Great reading! Readers learn tradition and history while hearing very intriguing stories which make children (and adults) think. Wonderful way to instill values in children. We need more books like this. Reflecting on what you do and the consequences (positive and negative) are very important to know as you grow up. Looking forward to more stories!

100 Best Children's Stories from China ia perfect book for classroom use. I have found it an excellent resource for my student storytellers. The background information on the stories gives authenticity to the cultural content. When my students need to learn a story for performance, I encourage them to pick short stories with dialogue and interesting characters. This book is well written with intriguing characters,simple language which is easy enough for a young reader to enjoy, and enough plot detail to engage an adult reader. For parents and educators the book provides great read aloud content. Traditional values and cultural wisdom are embedded in the content. The thinking questions can provide a starting place for moral and character education discussions. I am awaiting 100 more stories from the authors.

The stories in this book brought positive energy while I was reading it. The style of the story telling and the flow of the language are just beautiful. I truly enjoyed reading this book!

This second volume is just as good as the first! I am looking forward to the whole series of 100 stories! The stories are short and very easy to read, yet provide very valuable lessons for children and adults alike. The richness of the stories comes also in the form of history and traditions which transcend any culture. The stories are very captivating and held my interest - I could not put the book down till I had read it all!

this is the sixth edition of a classic that just gets better. it is a fountain of ideas. croft presents each activity with care and precision listing materials needed, the procedure and variations on the theme. the book is rich with resources...books, records and software. as a teacher of young children for 35 years I eagerly recommend this book to anyone serious about early childhood education.

Duke Winter was a secret agent kept alive by his superiors, good plastic surgeons... and a burning need for revenge.
The revenge did not come across as strongly as his need to find Mack Everett's widow. Was she possibly implicated in the murder of Mack Everett and his partner, Brandon Pierce?

Royce Westcott and Charles Findley were the only two who knew that Duke Winter was alive. But Duke had to find out who betrayed Mack and Brandon.

Carol Everett was living in London and thought she had buried the past with the late husband she'd hated ... and his partner, whom she had hated even more.

Duke knew that Carol had no liking for Brandon and would probably not give him any information if she had any if she suspected that he had any ties with the agency.

His old attraction for Carol resurfaced and led to an almost hopeless love for her. At 42, Duke was not about to question his growing need for her or his need to protect her.

You won't believe who turns out to be the villian. There is danger, suspense and the ho-hum premarital sex but the action is fast paced enough to keep you on your toes. The story intrigueing enough to keep you glued to the book. And the cover ain't bad neither. [grin - finally he looks like the character].

Definitely Recommended - you'll love it!

Anne Parker knew she must avoid Brad Irving at all costs. The Parker's and the Irving's have hated each other for as long as she could remember. But when Anne and Brad are stranded together during a snow storm thy could not hide the attraction that they felt towards each other. After they are rescued, is it posiible to go on ignoring each other? Maybe, but why should they? Brad has always thought that the family feud was stupid, but Anne and her family can not seem to let it go. It seems like it is up to Brad and Anne to put an end to the feud once and for all and hope like heck that it does not make things worse for themselves and their families.

This was a good exciting romance story. The characters were faced with making the decision between love and family loyalty. It was interesting to see how they reached their conclusions, even if it meant swallowing their pride.

This book inspired one of the best vacations I've taken (while closest to home!)exploring the waterfalls of NH. The directions and descriptions are accurate and easy to follow, and the falls themselves are exquisite--even in dry August weather, when we saw them. This will be a gift to friends, to be sure. Experienced hikers will appreciate it, but it's suitable for beginners. Not many geriatric hikes, however.
