The easiest way to turn a child off his or her moral development is to get preachy. Bobby and Sherry Norfolk know this, and that's why they forego the lectures and instead perform their Folktales for Character Development in schools all over the country. These stories teach values and virtues like perseverance and honesty though a memorable vehicle that no one can resist: narrative. The voices in this audiobook are tender, compassionate, and humorous. The Norfolks introduce each story in order to direct listeners to its ethical foundation. For example, the first story in the audio anthology is a "hip-hop version of an old Norwegian tale" that teaches the "importance of generosity, sharing, and the results of being a bully".
