About this book
Sarah Cory Rippey's The Goody-Naughty Book is a delightfully inventive classic that flips the script on children's moral instruction. Originally published as two complete books bound back-to-back, this unique children's collection invites young listeners to explore two contrasting worlds in a single volume. Open it one way to discover "The Goody Side," where children demonstrate kindness, responsibility, and thoughtful behavior. Flip the book over to experience "The Naughty Side," where laziness and irritability lead to entirely different outcomes.
Through charming short stories and illustrated adventures, Rippey masterfully teaches timeless lessons about character and consequences. Young readers meet memorable characters like Honor Bright, who learns the rewards of caring for others, and Polly, who discovers the true meaning of friendship. Each tale reinforces the importance of good behavior while showing, rather than preaching, how choices shape our lives.
First published in 1913 and featuring whimsical illustrations, The Goody-Naughty Book remains a treasured educational fiction classic that entertains while nurturing values. Perfect for parents seeking engaging audiobooks that teach without being heavy-handed, and for children who love stories with heart, this timeless collection proves that doing the right thing truly does matter. An ideal listen for families seeking wholesome, thought-provoking entertainment.
