Summary: The best
Comment: I love this book. I only wish there were more like it. IT was a very easyand thrilling book to read with life lessons for those who are even not Buddhist. NOt to mention one of the best ways to describe buddhism into an interesting short story. (A boy in a fire)

Rating: 4
Summary: Enjoyable
Comment: This is an enjoyable book that is not quite willing to trust the story. The work is well designed - delightful illustrations - and has a very rudimentary introduction to Buddhism preceding the stories. The traditional stories are well told; the original, modern tales frequently succeed. However, the author often feels obligated to provide a commentary - just a sentence or two - to explain the story. There are traditional stories that need a comment or two for readers with little or no knowledge of Buddhist or religious teaching stories as a whole. But often, such as the tale of two monks and a woman carried over a stream, the commentary limits the story's meaning rather than clarifying it. The author needs to trust the stories.

Summary: Outstanding Works for Beginners
Comment: I was extremely pleased with this book. It is not meant to be a profound work on Buddhism, but is introductory in nature. I would never have purchased or read a book on this subject, but a friend introduced it to me. I read one fable and I was hooked. I couldn't stop reading it. It makes me want to explore Zen at a deeper level. I liked it so much I am ordering 4 now to share with family and friends.
