Values We Can Get from Children's Books


Childhood is the happiest time of a person’s life. During this stage, you can play all day and be free from stress and problems. When childhood is discussed, there is one thing that we usually associate with it, and that is children’s books.

All of us experienced childhood and we have read children’s books or our parents have read these books to us. The good thing about these books is that the lessons that can be learned from them are timeless.

So, let’s try to look back and remember the life lessons and values we can get from children’s books. 



Martha Walks the Dog 
by Susan Meddaugh

Life lesson: Kindness begets kindness. 

Every person in this world has a choice on how he or she is going to behave. If you treat others badly or if you do not respect them, how can they respect you as well?




The Boy Who Cried Ninja 
by Alex Latimer

Life lesson: 
Honesty is the best policy. 

Do not make lies. Do not make lying as a habit because the time will come that people will no longer believe in you even if you are already telling the truth. Be honest.


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 
by Roald Dahl

Life lesson: 
Vices especially gluttony will give you nothing good.

If you have this kind of vice, better get rid of it or else, you have to pay the price.





Children’s books are actually simple books but they provide great life lessons that we should always remember and apply.
