Libertarianism for Kids

It is pretty important for kids to be taught values that are compatible with a libertarian society. A lot of fairy tales, short stories currently taught in schools/homes emphasize worship of authority and do not emphasize on individual responsibility, work ethics etc and sometime even reward bad behavior.

So this page will contain stories that are recommended for kids, libertarian themed/compatible books and content. In addition current reading in schools is woefully inadequate for teaching critical thinking, philosophy etc. so please feel free to add books that you find useful for that

Stories/books for kids that promote good values

The Little Red Hen (promotes the importance of working hard in order to enjoy the fruits of one's labor)

The ant and the grasshopper

The boy who cried wolf (lying and destroying social trust leads to bad consequences).

The emperor's new clothes.

The hare and the tortoise.
