I remember my friend reading "Jesus Understood" to the class when I was in grade two. I loved the story then, and I still do.
However, I would caution parents to remember that these stories are old-fashioned now. Even though the values they portray are timeless, they were written at a time when political correctness was not an issue (the author passed away in 1970). Also, a few of them reflect SDA doctrine that not all of us share.
I recommend skimming each story over before presenting it to your child, and making whatever small changes you feel are necessary. Used this way, Uncle Arthur's stories will continue to promote the values that many of us want our children and grandchildren to embrace.

I grew up with a 20 volume set of these books and read every story. The author is a 7th Day Adventist and I still recall that several of the stories were crossed out with a black marker and a note that said "False doctrine."

This series is so old-fashioned, so sweet. Great Christian bedtime stories, aimed to teach virtues to children. I remember reading these a lot!

I read this when I was in the hospital as a kid, it really lifted my spirits with lots of good lessons and (kind of) funny stories.

Moralistic and scary.

Full of short stories that take you to another time.

This book is a collection of bedtime stories with a moral to them. They are explained in short but enjoyable stories. My favourite part is when a boy called Robert always wants the best food, but then once he takes the biggest but most un-tastiest food.
