“Buddhist Stories for Kids” (taken from the Jakata Tales) and published by Laura Burges: Penguin Books

From the back cover:

“Long ago, the Buddha told his followers Jakata Tales or “birth stories” about the many lifetimes he lived before he was born as the Buddha. Though he lived more than 2,500 years ago, the Buddha’s teachings are as powerful today as they were during his lifetime. Travel back in time to ancient India to hear these profound and playful tales, brought vividly to life and reinterpreted for children today. You will meet him as the Queen of the Dogs, a loyal parrot, a mischievous monkey, a wise lion, a brave forest owlet and more - each story conveying a life lesson for children and adults alike. The striking and beautiful illustrations of India’s native trees and animals will linger with you long after the book is closed and story time is over.”

All the adults at Buddhist Supplies UK agreed that the minimum reading age would be around 8 years old for this book (as the book does not recommend a suitable age). Furthermore, they all loved the stories, the Buddhist morals and illustrations.
