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

In this Tale, the lazy cat ‘Furball' believes she knows everything. When the dam bursts and she is drenched, Furball realises that being a ‘know it all' can sometimes end in disaster. Based on the famous story of the university professor and the Zen master, children will discover that being a ‘know it all' simply means you are ‘all washed up'…

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.
