For primary-age readers and listeners. Crayonbox Collection is a compilation of colorful stories (but text and art is black-and-white) with lessons from the lives of children.

Eric was tricked out of a quarter, and learned it's wise not to believe everything you hear. As his father said, "Know the truth, and you won't be fooled into believing the wrong thing."

Joel tried and tried to put his new toy together, but without success. After he because frustrated, he learned about reading the instructions. And as his mom reminded him, there's one set of instructions he dare not ignore.

Susie and her friends thought school lunches were boring. So when the teacher let them have a picnic, they decided to lay out their lunches... and choose what they wanted from the collection. Susie was surprised at the results! Her wise mother was not, and explained why.
