This is the revised edition and is designed with the with age range of readers in mind called "Tweenies," approximately eight to thirteen, that delicate age of transition out of childhood into teenage years; no longer a child but not quite the imperfect young adult. It is filled with all kinds of trials and tribulations, challenges and victories, some bold and some silent. Conquests are sometimes great and sometimes micro-moments in the steps taken on life's journey. This book is intentional to also provide, when possible, not only entertainment, but a moral in all its complexity, that the reader can work out for themselves, or with the guidance of the adult reader. Because of the intended age range, some stories may prove problematic for the younger readers, but may also prove to be of guidance to them as well. This revised edition of the Grandpa Stories series is unique in a manner not often found in children's literature: the inclusion of absorbing, penetrating, frustrating, and often refreshing questions to each of the stories in the book. These are found in an appendix to the original volume. This volume will be continued with two additional books entitled: Grandpa's Stories: Advice for Teenagers Living in Today's World, II & III. These complimentary volumes are in production and will be released in the winter or spring of 2016. The back cover to the original volume of Moral Stories for Young Readers continues to have merit and will be found in the opening pages of this revised edition's appendix. The questions are geared to self-edification and teacher's instructional models for story analysis. They can be used independent of school, or during reading class as a background format for developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of what each story may or may not be about. They are designed to promote understanding, broaden the story's perspective, and liberate alternative interpretations of the stories. The schema for such an addition is protected under copyright, although readers are encouraged to create their own questions as part of the discovery process in broadening the personal and social implications of each story. That mechanism is also part of the uniqueness of this approach and implementation to the revised edition. It is also written with current values (even when the story seemingly appears to come from a previous generation), and with this generation of youngsters, kept with their experiences, faults and challenges in mind. We should never underestimate what they go through, especially in their secretive world undisclosed to the adults around them. They are not as innocent as we might hope for them to be, nor as experienced as we think they are. I should warn that some stories are blunt and speak to harsh realities. Some may find them revolting and difficult. To say these are beyond the experiences of kids is to not recognize the real truth of what kids go through, really live through, or in many ways know about, I wish it were not so.
"Four short stories set in a hutong, or residential alleyway, of Beijing, China. Yu'er, her grandfather, and their eccentric neighbors experience the magic of everyday life."--
Memories of story telling before the fireplace will remain with me the rest of my life. This wonderful time was followed telling before the pot-bellied stove. Later story telling would be initiated by the little listeners of such stories. Later the children would begin to read and tell their own stories. This book of fairy tales has few visuals. Today, children have sufficient means to visuals. This book is to encourage people to read and then tell their own stories. These five fairy tales have no violence, stress Christian values and end on a positive note. Froggy is the story of a tadpole who desires more space and privacy and leaves to find such a space. He is disliked then loved in his new lake. Runt tells of a goat who does not grow. His mother tells him why and he is happy. He becomes lost, but still finds happiness. The Mean Prince is young boy who never tires of being mean. Finally, he turns into an Ogre and is sent from the castle. He makes friends and eventually returns to the castle and a happy life. The Lonely Giant describes a giant who has no friends. His size and frown cause people to avoid him and that makes him sad. One day he befriends a Robin and he becomes a friend to all. The people even change his name. Beautiful Girl is the final story. An infant is left on the door stoop of a man in a small village. His church people want to adopt the little girl until they discover that she has no arms or legs. The man is angry that his church people will not adopt her. He raises the girl and she displays her happiness winging to the animals. One day, she helps a stranger and is made whole. She marries and becomes a happy wife and mother. Hans, the man who raised her, lives with the family. Hopefully, this book will cause people to make-up and tell their own stories.
Stories from Grandpa's Recliner is a trilogy of inspirational and funny stories, with fun activities and amazing facts. In the first story, "Meeting Your Destiny," Robert, Ning-Ning, and Edgard are anxious about leaving the familiarity of grade school for the new challenges of middle school. They and Robert's younger brother, Freddie, pay a surprise visit to Robert's Grandpa Thad in hopes of receiving assurance and encouragement. Grandpa Thad does not disappoint. He shares with the children an inspirational story about a determined caterpillar with a dream. The second story, "Popcorn Party," is the hilarious misadventures of several characters, who are very similar to the children in the first story, as they deal with a profusion of popcorn, which is the result of their failure to obey and follow directions. The third story, "Pet Problem," is filled with comical chaos as the main character, Freddie experiences the consequences of disobedience and deception, while trying to hide his new pet from his parents. The book also contains a section of fun activities, that help bring to remembrance, the stories as well as interesting facts that helps broaden the reader's knowledge. The colorful illustrations capture the attention of young children, but most of all, the book is a tool for adults to spend quality bonding time with young readers and pass on meaningful life lessons in a joyful way. Art wrote and illustrated one of the stories in this book over thirty years ago as a bed time story for his young daughters. Remembering how much fun it brought to bedtime for his daughters, he decided to update the story and publish it, hoping to share the fun with another generation. This is the second children's book that Art has published. Art also created an anti-tobacco curriculum. He authored and illustrated the accompanying workbook, and taught the program in a local school district. It's hoped that Stories from Grandpa's Recliner, will create wholesome fun and warm memories for children and their parents.

Grandpa's Gift is based on my life at a very young age. With my students enjoying the stories about what life was like when I was growing up, I decided that I needed a book so they could have the pictures in their head. There were no books, to my knowledge, that had illustrations of the various events that I wanted the children to know about. Although we had the Laura Ingalls Wilder books for the older students, there were only a few for the younger student that related to the times, and they did not cover the material that I wanted to use. Henry takes the place of me in the story. His Grandfather is not in good health and loves to talk about what life was like when he was young. Most young people do not like to hear about the old days, but Henry loved to listen to his grandpa talk. Some of the things you will love to see are: wash tubs, pumps, outhouses, the general store, children's games, the one room school house, union suits, cellars or storm houses, and just the every day life of an earlier time.
This book is a wonderful collection of bedtime stories that will keep children musing about life and encourage their parents to answer questions about love, in their own style, following the reading of each unique story. Charles Aubrey Pogson, Jr. is a living example of a miraculous existence. He survived numerous circumstances to tell the stories of family values and spiritual philosophy.
