Worth many books. Each section can be considered a book 2007-05-15
My wife loves this book. I get tired of the same fables with pictures. It's nice to read something that peaks the child's curiosity and allows discussion about meaningful things.

This book is what everything a kid goes through. They go through love, friendship problems, family problems and attitude a justment. Every kid should get this book because this book has the answers to your problems. No matter what situation, good or bad, this book does have the answers. This book shares a lot of problems a kid goes through and a lot of good times in their childhood. For me, i don't dislike the book, i really love it!
As I was growing up, I had a lot of problems. One of my problems was the fact that my bestfriend was moving. In this book, it says "But the more i thought about it, the more I realized I wasn't really losing her. The person taught me so much in life and laughter, the person who had helped me grow to be myself, was just going away for a while, to do some growing and learning up of her own." This quote is really true. The person who taught me so much is still here with me. I think that he just needs to keep learning. He was always there for and he made an impact in my life that no matter where he is, he is always going to be apart of me.
This book teaches a kid not to take things for granted. Lately, I been taking time for granted. Me and my brother has been really distance in the last few years. Me and him are seven years apart and we and him never really talked. In one short story in the family section it says " Hey Tova,It's me Sara. I just called to tell you I love you." This quote is a good quote. In this story, Tova is travaling to Egypt to study by herself. Her sister, Sara, is a few years younger then her. Sara wanted to be everything her sister is, so she copied everything she did. On the night Tova left, Sara noticed how quiet it is without her older sister so she cried all night. She then got the courage to call her and say I love you and she did. I wish that I could do this, so this short story gave me the courage too.
I have no favorite part in the book because everything in this book is really usefull in a kids life. This book covers every aspect in a kids life. Turning from a kid to a teenager, this book has it all. I advise every kid to read it because it's really handy when your in need.
Parents beware

I have not read this book, but my nine year old daughter has read and enjoyed most of it. Last night though, she cried herself to sleep after reading graphic stories (near the end of the book) by an incest victim whose father was sent to jail and the daughter of an injection drug user who woke up one night with police pointing guns at her. I'm sure the inclusion of these stories was well-intentioned, but there's no way they are "chicken soup" for the average kid's soul.

Today's kids face grave issues and harder decisions than ever before.

These issues make kids feel as if they must understand and accept all the troubles of the world.
Now more than ever, kids want and
need the inspiration and hope that
Chicken Soup for the Soul provides. In this special volume, young readers will find empowerment and encouragement to love and accept themselves, believe in their dreams, find answers to their questions and discover hope for a promising future.
How This Book Became Part Of A Family Ritual 2005-02-08
"Hurry Up! We're going to be late!" Ever find that the tone of your morning can set the tone for your entire day? As a busy family counselor I used to too.
And then the "Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul" became part of a morning family tradition that helped to turn our morning chaos around. Before school, together as a family we would read one or two chicken soup stories that we started to call our "Chicken Soup for the Soul Moments". So powerful was this simple ritual that I ended up including it as one out of my 200 strategies for parents in my own book and still widely recommend it to clients, workshop participants and readers today.
I believe that if more parents read chicken soup WITH their kids each morning we would see a lot less parents and children on the edge of the deep end.

A mixed bag. 2004-05-21
Overall the stories are both entertaining and heart warming. Some of them are quite sappy but all of the stories are thankfully short which keeps the flow of the book going at a comfortable reading pace. It's the type of book to read in small chunks.
Great Stories for Youth Groups 2002-03-03
I bought this book as tool for my youth ministry. I read the stories to kids in third and fourth grade. The stories are short, interesting and have good moral themes. There are stories to entertain, and teach. I would recommend it.
