Are you searching for ways to reinforce character-building lessons? These devotional stories may be used for daily devotions, as gentle examples for moral training, or for primary reading practice and enjoyment.

What if you’d like to present a lesson about the importance of following directions? Look in the topical index under “directions” to locate “Yellowstone Bread,” a story about just such a lesson.
