With graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon Muth -- and Stillwater the bear -- present three ancient Zen tales that are sure to strike a chord in everyone they touch.. To Michael he pushes the boundaries of good and bad. Jon J Muth, author of the best-selling book, THE THREE QUESTIONS, has crafted another profound and winning picture book."Michael," said Karl. "There's a really big bear in the backyard." This is how three children meet Stillwater, a giant panda who moves into the neighborhood and tells amazing tales. And to Karl he demonstrates what it means to hold on to frustration. To Addy he tells a story about the value of material goods
Taken simply as a picture book, Zen Shorts is interesting and visually lovely. The tales invite the children to consider the world and their perceptions from a different angle; for Karl, the panda's story gently but pointedly teaches the benefits of forgiveness. Appealing enough for a group read-aloud, but also begging to be shared and discussed by caregiver and child, Zen Shorts is a notable achievement. - Coop Renner, Hillside Elementary, El Paso, TXCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Then I saw the pictures; the illustrations are of a world you'll long to inhabit--and you may be jealous of the children that they have a neighbor like Stillwater. Tears of joy and satisfaction welled up as I read it, and I realized that I had in my hands a truly wonderful book. The stories that Muth tells through Stillwater (the perfect name for the Zen pa. A real gem There is something about the quiet way in which this book unfolds that is appealing to adults and, apparently, to young children as well -- my four-year-old leafs through the pages on his own every day since the day I bought it, and sleeps with it, too. There is gentle wisdom here that is sure to foster thoughtful discussion about how we should treat ourselves and others.. "Short changed" according to Amazon Customer. Well illustrated, but this book shorts us on the shorts. I was expecting at least a half-dozen interesting, meaningful Zen-like short stories; there are only three: one is lame, one hobbles, the third walks on strong legs. Two or three more parables like 'the carried old woman' and this book would have been worth its price.
