"Watt's Songs Against Evil" by Isaac Watts is a series of instructive poems crafted in the 1700s, designed to teach kids about right and wrong. The book uses memorable rhymes to underscore themes of goodness and strong morals, aiming to steer young readers away from things like being lazy, too proud, or hanging out with the wrong crowd, and instead encourages them to be innocent, disciplined, and morally upright. Through stories and characters, Watts cleverly shows the foolishness of being overly concerned with appearance or avoiding work, and he pushes readers to chase after true qualities like wisdom and kindness. Certain poems stress how vital it is to be hardworking and how those we spend time with can greatly shape who we become, all with the goal of etching good principles into the hearts and minds of children in a way that sticks.
