Hello Everyone,

The Great Buddhist Stories: Omnibus http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9812618945 - Ven Dhammika compiled and edited these stories. Excellent work but a little sophisticated for younger kids (Ages 4 and up)

Buddha http://www.amazon.com/Buddha-Demi/dp/08 ... 283&sr=8-1 - Demi - Beautiful illustrations but with a Mahayana flavor. Good for young ones. (Ages 3 and Up)

Dhamma Books for Children
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

---Worry is the Interest, paid in advance, on a debt you may never owe---
---It's not what happens to you in life that is important ~ it's what you do with it ---

Re: Dhamma Books for Children
Browsing onwards from Cooran's link got me to http://www.amazon.com/Buddha-1-Kapilava ... 29_russss0
which I (obviously) haven't read but which looks good for slightly older children.

Samsara Dog - by Helen Manos
''For we are all travelers on the wheel of life.
We halt, we pause and take new births.
Samsara Dog lived many lives.
Some of his lives were long.
Some lasted only a few days.
Dog never remembered them.
He lived each life as it came,
until he learned the most
important lesson of all.
Based on Buddhist concepts of Samsara and Nirvana, this moving story about love and life, death and dying, will touch every reader.''

Re: Dhamma Books for Children
This book is not so much a book for children, but for parents. From a "quick flick" It looks excellent and was used to plan activities on a family-friendly retreat I just came back from:
Planting Seeds: Practicing Mindfulness with Children
Thich Nhat Hanh
You can read bits of it here:
