It collects 31 passages featured in the original <i><a href="/wiki/The_Book_of_Virtues" title="The Book of Virtues">Book of Virtues</a></i> from 1993, and uses the original virtue list as the basis for four new sections. Bennett developed the follow-up amid concerns over the accessibility of the parent work towards younger readers, and teamed up with Hague, whom his wife recommended. </p><p>The <i>Children's</i> installment was published by <a href="/wiki/Simon_%26_Schuster" title="Simon & Schuster">Simon & Schuster</a> in October 1995 to strong sales but mixed to negative reviews, and was accompanied by two other companion successors to the original; an animated follow-up, <i><a href="/wiki/Adventures_from_the_Book_of_Virtues" title="Adventures from the Book of Virtues">Adventures from the Book of Virtues</a></i>, premiered on <a href="/wiki/PBS" title="PBS">PBS</a> in 1996.
