Bartok the Beagle's Big Little Lessons

Big Lessons in Little Stories

By: David Tobin

Narrated by: Michelle Hughes

Meet Bartok—a curious, kind-hearted beagle who loves exploring his garden, where adventure lives under every leaf and behind every rock. In this collection of short stories, Bartok meets all sorts of tiny creatures: worms, beetles, spiders, turtles, and more. Each new friend is different, and each story holds a gentle, meaningful lesson.

Perfect for ages 3-7, Bartok the Beagle introduces “Big Little Lessons”: Big in heart—teaching kindness, empathy, patience, and respect Little in form—simple, warm stories children can understand and remember.

As Bartok learns to slow down, listen, and celebrate differences, your child will, too. These bite-sized tales help kids build emotional awareness, spark thoughtful conversations, and discover that even the smallest moments can lead to big growth.

Each story includes:

• A heart-centered reflection to read aloud with your child
• A helpful note for parents to connect with the core lesson

Whether you're cuddling up at bedtime or sharing a story in the classroom, Bartok the Beagle makes learning values joyful, gentle, and fun—for children and adults alike.
