I need your help! I’ve been on the search lately for cute children’s books that teach morals/life lessons. My toddler loves reading stories, and she is just getting to the point where she’ll actually let me read them to her rather than just looking at one page and snapping the book shut on me.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how busy each day can be sometimes.
I’ve often wondered if I’m doing enough teaching, and sometimes I wonder if I’m totally dropping the ball in that department. However, as busy as life can get sometimes, there is almost always enough time in a day to read a story or two before bed at our house. And that’s what made me think a little more deeply about the stories that I am reading her. I love reading her the silly books, and the educational books to help her learn colors, animals, etc., but I want to make sure that I make time throughout our week, to read her books that teach important life lessons. That way, she’s learning something valuable–even on the hectic and crazy days.
I’ve been asking around, and this is where I need your help too! What are your favorite picture books that teach kids positive behavior? I’d like to add at least 1-2 new books to my collection each month. I mentioned in my previous post on How I Save Money Online, a few ways that I earn a few extra bucks (and Amazon credit) just by doing a few simple things.
I’ve decided I want to use the Amazon gift cards that I get from the Ibotta to build up my collection of children’s books (get your first $10 using code “bbjckw”.
Enjoy the list that I have rounded up thus far and please comment if you know of a good one as well! I will update this list, so feel free to bookmark this page or pin in on Pinterest so that you have it to reference back to.
*Due to lots of great suggestions, there is a sequel to this post, titled books that empower children.
Picture Books That Teach
I want to start the list with two of my favorite books: Fanny’s Dream and You’re All My Favorites.
Book Description: In this inventive take on the traditional Cinderella tale, Fanny Agnes is a sturdy farm girl with a big dream. Someday, she believes, she will marry a prince. When the town mayor announces he is throwing a grand ball, Fanny is convinced her time has come. She puts on her best calico dress and goes out to the garden so that she’ll be ready when her fairy godmother arrives. As the seconds tick by, Fanny waits and waits. Finally, she hears a voice. It isn’t her fairy godmother-but it is someone who will change her life forever.
LESSON: I LOVE this book! It has so many lessons. Making reality your fairy tale, appreciating what you have, true love, hard work, and I’m sure there are a few I’m missing here. I want each of my girls to have their own copy as the lessons become especially important through their dating years.

Or will she? Two endearing siblings star in a witty story about the triumph of imagination over proclivity.
LESSON: For Picky Eaters
Book Description: It’s time for the little red chicken’s bedtime story—and a reminder from Papa to try not to interrupt. But the chicken can’t help herself! Whether the tale isHansel and Grettel or Little Red Riding Hood or even Chicken Little, she jumps into the story to save its hapless characters from doing some dangerous or silly thing.

Energetically illustrated with glowing colors—and offering humorous story-within-a-story views—this all-too-familiar tale is sure to amuse (and hold the attention of) spirited little chicks.

She goes on the hunt with her furry Newfoundland puppy and Grandma, and Alexa Grace’s new blessing jar soon overflows with God’s wonders.

Book Description:Translated into more than sixty languages, this classic tale of a peaceable bull has been a favorite of readers across the world for generations.
LESSON: Be true to one’s self, with love and acceptance
Book Description: Gerald the giraffe doesn’t really have delusions of grandeur. He just wants to dance. But his knees are crooked and his legs are thin, and all the other animals mock him when he approaches the dance floor at the annual Jungle Dance. “Hey, look at clumsy Gerald,” they sneer. “Oh, Gerald, you’re so weird.” Poor Gerald slinks away as the chimps cha-cha, rhinos rock ‘n’ roll, and warthogs waltz. But an encouraging word from an unlikely source shows this glum giraffe that those who are different “just need a different song,” and soon he is prancing and sashaying and boogying to moon music (with a cricket accompanist). In the vein of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Gerald’s fickle “friends” quickly decide he’s worthy of their attention again.
LESSON: Everyone Moves to Their Own Music
Book Description: Chester Raccoon doesn’t want to go to school–he wants to stay home with his mother. She assures him that he’ll love school–with its promise of new friends, new toys, and new books. Even better, she has a special secret that’s been in the family for years–the Kissing Hand. This secret, she tells him, will make school seem as cozy as home. She takes her son’s hand, spreads his tiny fingers into a fan and kisses his palm–smack dab in the middle: “Chester felt his mother’s kiss rush from his hand, up his arm, and into his heart.” Whenever he feels lonely at school, all he has to do is press his hand to his cheek to feel the warmth of his mother’s kiss. Chester is so pleased with his Kissing Hand that he–in a genuinely touching moment–gives his mom a Kissing Hand, too, to comfort her when he is away. Audrey Penn’s The Kissing Hand, published by the Child Welfare League of America, is just the right book for any child taking that fledgling plunge into preschool–or for any youngster who is temporarily separated from home or loved ones.
LESSON: Separation, starting school
Book Description: In this beloved tale, the Little Red Hen makes delicious bread that her lazy friends can’t resist. Children will eagerly continue reading to see what she will do when everyone wants a taste! –Between the pages of the Brighter Child(R) Keepsake Stories books are the classic tales of magic, imagination, and inspiration that will delight children again and again. From the hard-working Red Hen to the foolish Gingerbread Man, these stories will capture children’s interest and spark their imagination page after page, inspiring a lifelong love of literature and reading.
LESSON: Rewards that Come From Hard Work, dont’ be lazy
Some others that have been recommended by my readers:
From Head to Toe: Everyone has different abilities, you never know what you can do unless you try!

The little red hen!!
It’s a folk story but the little golden books has it. It teaches how important work and service is. And if you don’t do the work you don’t get the rewards.
You are special by max lucado
Teaches how what others think about you doesn’t matter because you’re special in “heavenly fathers” eyes. And as long as you know that it doesn’t matter what others think.
Tina M says
July 20, 2013 at 10:39 pmThanks Britt!
How could I forget the little red hen? And You are Special is a classic! I probably forgot to put that one on because I have like 3 copies (2 from a baby shower). haha!
Amy says
July 21, 2013 at 5:28 amA new favorite in our house is “Giraffes Can’t Dance” by Giles Andreae. My son picked it out because of the giraffe on the cover but come to find out it is a great book that teaches that everyone moves to their own music. The other animals call Gerald weird and laugh when he tries to dance like them but he finds out he just needed his own music. It’s a great one!
bychericottrell says
July 22, 2013 at 3:01 pmJust came across your blog, it’s lovely! My children are grown but a book they still speak of is ” The Story of Ferdinand the Bull ” by Munro Leaf. Beautifully written with the moral of being true to oneself, with love and acceptance. Your daughter maybe a little to young but a wonderful book to keep on the shelf for when she is older. If you should pick this story please feel free to give your gift to anouther mother with little ones.

Katie says
July 25, 2013 at 6:24 amThe Kissing Hand is a favorite in our house. It’s about a little raccoon going to school for the first time – teaches that you have to be brave and strong, but Mommy always loves you. A great read for first-time preschoolers!
Tina M says
July 25, 2013 at 3:00 pmThanks Katie! I’ll have to add it to the list!
Tina M says
July 29, 2013 at 10:22 pmCongrats Katie! Thanks to random.org, you were picked as our winner! I would love to send you one of my two favorites that I listed (unless there is another one on the list that you really, really want).

July 27, 2013 at 7:09 amThese are fantastic! I used to teach first grade, and a lot of these look familiar, but I also see some new ones. Just by reading the titles, I can tell my three young boys would benefit from ALL of these. Thanks so much for sharing! Enjoy your day!

August 30, 2013 at 6:58 amThis is a great list! I’m so glad you shared it. I’d love it if you’d share it or other book-related posts you have at my weekly book-related link-up party, Booknificent Thursday at mommynificent.com.
I have many favorites, but one we really enjoy because it’s also silly is Robert Munsch’s Ribbon Rescue. Here’s a link to my review of it for some ideas of how I’ve used it to teach: http://mommynificent.com/2012/10/06/ribbon-rescue-book-review/

Kelly at Littlest Sweet pea says
September 6, 2013 at 1:27 pmThank you for the list. To be honest, I hadn’t heard of many of the books and I’m a former teacher! I will definitely be checking them out with our little ones. My daughter (3 years old) absolutely LOVES any Eric Carle book. Her favorite is From Head to Toe. When I first read it to her at age 2, she had a hard time doing any of the motions. But we talked about how people have different abilities and that with some trying and patience maybe she would be able to do some more of the movements. She still has a hard time with a couple, but loves that she’s learned some. I’m not sure if the lesson is there for everyone, but for my daughter it’s about trying. You never know what you can do unless you try, and sometimes it takes more than just one try!
Tina M says
September 7, 2013 at 5:06 pmTrue! Thanks so much. I’m going to add “from head to toe” to the list
Tina M says
October 9, 2013 at 10:15 pmThanks Ted! I’ll take a look!
Kendra Ahlborn says
October 11, 2013 at 8:52 amGood morning. I may be somewhat late to the party but there is an author that is so beyond as good as it gets that I have to share him. He’s a hidden gem. Have you heard of Mark Ludy? I adore all of his books. And they are all trenched in good morals. I recommend “The Farmer”, and “The Grump”. If you have a younger reader though, he has a wordless picture book called, “The Flower Man”. This will keep your kid enthralled for hours. Anyway, I hope you love this author. I’ve adored him ever since I stumbled onto his books.
Tina M says
October 11, 2013 at 8:58 amThanks Kendra! I’ll add some if his books to the list 🙂
Kendra Ahlborn says
October 11, 2013 at 3:06 pmI’m thankful to hear it. I hope you’ll love him as much as I do.
Shannon says
October 13, 2013 at 6:43 pmI absolutely love the message in Stand Tall Molly Lou Mellon. It is a great book about loving your own unique self.
Tina M says
October 13, 2013 at 9:05 pmThanks Shannon! I’ve actually read that book and totally forgot its title! It’s very cute. Adding it to the list!
Ted Simonin says
October 19, 2013 at 10:59 amI think all of these titles on one shelf would make for a very lucky kid!
Andie says
November 22, 2013 at 12:11 pmThis post is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for the awesome list. I’ll add one more that was recommended by our librarian yesterday & I already love it. It’s a Berenstain Bears book called “The Berenstain bears get the gimmies”. It’s about being greedy and expecting treats everywhere you go.
Tina M says
November 22, 2013 at 12:39 pmAndie, thanks for the suggestion! That’s funny, I actually had that movie growing up! I know that story well! 😉 adding it to the list!
Rhenn says
November 26, 2013 at 2:28 pmHi, Tina! Found you on Pinterest and LOVE the post! Since you love stories with a moral as well as Amazon (I’m also Amazon crazy!) I thought I would give you the heads up that a great Children’s eBook about acceptance and embracing individuality is going to be free over the holiday weekend. The name of the book is Snurtle and the free promo starts 11/29 and runs through 12/2. The Amazon link is http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G4L85Q0
If you like it, feel free to share the link while it’s still free : ) Thanks a bunch for the list!
Shana says
February 6, 2014 at 7:30 pmSo glad you featured the “bucket” books. The are a staple in our house and I have been giving a gift bucket with it and other goodies for all baby shower gifts. Another favorite in our house is Little Blue Truck, by Alice Shertle. There are several books and they all have simple, yet valuable lessons. The illustrations are great and there are great repeated sounds that my boys love to shout out as we read.
Sarah Dahl says
March 13, 2014 at 8:58 amI realize I’m very late reading this post…but I still wanted to comment :). You have put together a GREAT List! Thanks so much! The only ones I can think to add would be the Dr. Seuss books. Particularly The Lorax, Horton Hears a Who, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. These all teach important lessons in books that are fun to read and look at! Also, someone already mentioned Max Lucado’s “You are Special” I would like to give that one a RESOUNDING Two Thumbs Up as well as his other children’s books: “Because I Love You”, “You Are Mine”, and “Just In Case You Ever Wonder”.
triedandtasty says
April 3, 2014 at 6:40 amOh my goodness – what a great list of books! I absolutely love, love, LOVE children’s books and have been collecting them for years. We don’t have kids yet, but when I do – I’ll definitely be referring to this list. Thanks for putting it all together. PINNING!
Jenalyn Barton says
May 11, 2014 at 4:24 amOne of my favorites is “The Empty Pot,” which teaches honesty. 🙂
Shelli Franks says
June 24, 2014 at 9:16 amAesop’s Fables are all fabulous – my personal favorites include “The Ant & the Grasshopper” (hard work, responsibility) “The Crow & the Pitcher” (perseverance, little efforts make big changes), & “The Dog & his Reflection” (be content with what you have).
Another favorite is Alexander & the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day (everyone has bad days, each day is a new day).

Susan Casiple says
January 30, 2015 at 11:05 pmI have read to my class The Hundred Dresses and love the lesson of how bullying is hurtful yet the bullied girl’s response is forgiveness. My 3rd grade class was really impacted by it. Your list is awesome! I have some I need to give as gifts! Thank you!
zaday patrick says
May 20, 2015 at 7:08 pmThank you so much for taking the time to put this list together. I look forward to making a trip to the library to pick up these amazing books. I would like to add a book to the list. It’s an oldie but goodie ( The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein) It teaches about the gift of giving, sacrifice as well as greed. This books always make my children emotional (sadness, frustration, happiness and compassion) all in one book.
cathypauley says
May 31, 2015 at 4:32 pmThe Name Jar This is a really cute story of a girl who feels different from other American children because of her foreign name. The kids in her class all make their suggestions by putting a name for her in the name jar.It is very cute and helps children accept who they are and their differences. By the way, there is a typo, on the moral of the book, The way I act. ILESSON: How we act effects other people. Teaches traits such as compassion and bravery. It should use the word “affects”. Thanks for the great list.
Patricia Easley says
June 7, 2015 at 4:10 pmI write picture books that are socially conscious. Since this year i am in the Barnes & Noble system, and sell on my website. Basically i love reading to preschools and discussing tppics. My recent book is about a green bean in veggie soup who kicks all the other veggies out because they aren’t the right color, only to find people like veggie soup with other veggies in it.
TGK says
July 7, 2015 at 1:12 pmAnything by Gary and Jan Bower. Wonderful character building books with beautiful illustrations. Fantastic writing, and they don’t get old after reading over and over again! You can find some of their stuff on Amazon.
Mariken Karnas says
August 24, 2015 at 10:00 pmThere is a lovely series of fairy tales/fables available written by Mariken Karnas. Each book has 20 stories and in November book 5 will be back from the printers and for sale. (editor Mr Chris Benge) Each story has a moral and the books do have a recommendation by child therapist Mr Johannes Sijbrant. You can find a few free stories if you type in Google; Mariken Karnas and for the best result click on Kapiti Print Media.
B.B. Free says
August 30, 2015 at 1:34 pmMay I be so bold as to recommend my own, The Rescuers? I’m an elementary school teacher and I wrote this book about random acts of kindness with character education in mind. Your child is probably still a bit young for it, but I’ve read it with Kindergartners, and with proper guidance, they get it. It’s available on Amazon and Barnes&Noble.com.
Katy Burke says
September 27, 2016 at 7:44 pmThis is a PERFECT list. I love it!
I recently published a children’s book called ‘Z is for Zip.’ It follows the alphabet backwards and each letter describes a different part of autism. It’s extremely important that parents answer the questions their kids have about disability in an age appropriate and respectful manner and this book can help families have that conversation. Please check it out if you can!! It’s been hard to get the word out.
Thanks,
Katy

courtney says
February 3, 2017 at 1:45 pmI enjoy your site; it is amazing!! Thanks for all the great books with summaries and brief lessons they teach!
Amy Altstatt says
June 11, 2017 at 12:43 amThis is a great list! I’d also like to add, if I may, two books that I have authored and illustrated that teach children to value their own journey, and also appreciate other’s gifts. The first one is, “Completely Rainbow” and the second one is, “The King’s Beloved Colors”. I was inspired to share stories that represented a rainbow world, and then gave children more to think about, using colors as the backdrop. The illustrations are quite fun and the stories leave a lot open for discussion. I hope you have a chance to check them out! 🙂

November 4, 2017 at 8:11 pmWhat about book colection but for girls pf 7 to 12 years old with lesson. I dont lik the dorki books because she always talk as her mother like she is stupid or express in the book the importance of think that are actually not important ( popularity, criticism, materialist products. Those books dont have lessons. So i need some book similar for my daughters
