What Others Are Saying
“Written by educator and public speaker Robert Bohlken, Listening To the Mukies and Their Character Building Adventures is a very highly entertaining collection of children’s stories that are not only enjoyable in their own right as simple entertainments, but which also serve a deeper purpose. These stories (which feature a charming race of furry creatures called Mukies), teach young readers about positive values, including tolerance, learning that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and the importance of not letting emotions such as anger take control of one’s actions. School or family activities, as well as thought-provoking questions pepper this educational and recommended anthology.” -The Midwest Book Review
