'The Water Babies" by Kingsley is a wonderful read. The story is about a little boy Tom whose life changed after his encounter with a fairy. The fairy transformed the little boy's personality from inconsiderate to polite. The story propels reader's imagination and leaves one with a helpful moral; if youngsters are taught to be nice and loving, it can transform the future of the world.
