Golden Rules: The Ten Ethical Values Parents Need to Teach Their Children

Wayne Dosick. HarperOne, $16 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-06-251204-8

This book is what William Bennett's The Book of Virtues should have been and wasn't. Containing parables and stories to ponder and discuss, Golden Rules leads adults gracefully through the prayers and simple exercises that can convey to children the 10 values of respect, honesty, fairness, responsibility, compassion, gratitude, friendship, peace, maturity and faith. In doing so, Dosick-a rabbi, a father and author of The Business Bible-has created a concise book that, with age- and category-specific questions for different groups, is well-conceived and easy to use.
