The Junior Classics is a rescue operation to preserve the wisdom in the Classics before it is lost forever. Our goal is to inspire children with a love of good reading and a real and lasting interest in Western history, literature, and scholarship. My hope is to empower you, the parents, with a resource you can trust to enrich your child’s mind and spirit.

We don’t want these stories lost so our children don’t have to learn these lessons on their own.

Season 1: Old Favorite Fairy Tales
Hop-o'-My-Thumb is the youngest of seven children in a poor woodcutter's family. His greater wisdom compensates for his smallness of size. When the children are abandoned by their parents, he finds a variety of means to save his life and the lives of his brothers. Story lesson - wisdom can make up for size and strength but sometimes, like Bridger the 6 year old boy who saved his sister from a dog attack, you have to jump into danger to do what it right. Fear nothing when doing right.
