Zen Tales are classic philosophical stories adapted and beautifully illustrated for children.

In this Tale, Gilbert Beaver thinks that winning the race and receiving his prize is good. He believes that falling out of a tree and into the river is bad. The ever-present Shelly suggests that you can never be certain about these things. We are often disappointed by ‘good’ things, and we can also enjoy ‘bad' things. Living in the present means full enjoyment of all of life.

Zen Tales are a light-hearted and fun way for young minds to learn about philosophical ideas and wisdom. Each book includes a thought-provoking section, ‘Reflections on the story’, designed to stimulate curiosity and to invite different ways of thinking about things.
