Free Listening To The Mukies And Their Character Building Adventures Ebooks Online
These eight short stories are intended to develop an insight into character building and enhance reading and listening skills. The stories are set in a primitive society in which the usually optimistic and happy Mukies (pronounced with a long u) work together to solve problems. These compassionate and wise characters demonstrate problem-solving techniques. They address character building skills such as respect, courage, cooperation, tolerance, honesty, and peaceful co-existence. The adventures of the Mukies reinforce and expand on the importance of listening to each other. Whether listening to themselves or their friends and family, they reveal the value of effective listening. The interactions of reader and listener are as important as the messages presented. Further questions and school/family activities are at the end of each story.
