Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boys' and Girls' Bookshelf, Vol. 19: Little Journeys Into Bookland (Part I) More than a hundred years ago a mother sat writing a letter while a baby boy played near by, and as she looked proudly at her little son she wrote in her letter: I think you would like my little Henry W. He is an active rogue and wishes for nothing so much as singing and dancing. That is the very first mention we can find of the poet's name, and we are glad that his mother has the honor of having the first say. Before many years there was a large family of Longfellow boys and girls. They lived in a fine house built by their grandfather General Peleg Wadsworth, more than twenty years before Henry was born. It was the first brick house in Portland, Maine. Every brick in its walls was brought from Philadelphia. This house was the home of Zilpah Wadsworth's girlhood, and here she was courted and won by Stephen Longfellow. Then, when her father moved up to his beautiful country place, it became the Longfellow home. It was a regular story-book house with all sorts of unexpected nooks and crannies. There were wide window-seats where the children could curl up and read tales from the well-filled bookshelves. From its windows they could see the beautiful Casco Bay, and down at the wharves they could watch the boats coming in from the West Indies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bookshelves in the Age of the COVID-19 Pandemic provides the first detailed scholarly investigation of the cultural phenomenon of bookshelves (and the social practices around them) since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. With a foreword by Lydia Pyne, author of Bookshelf (2016), the volume brings together 17 scholars from 6 countries (Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the USA) with expertise in literary studies, book history, publishing, visual arts, and pedagogy to critically examine the role of bookshelves during the current pandemic. This volume interrogates the complex relationship between the physical book and its digital manifestation via online platforms, a relationship brought to widespread public and scholarly attention by the global shift to working from home and the rise of online pedagogy. It also goes beyond the (digital) bookshelf to consider bookselling, book accessibility, and pandemic reading habits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In their previous landmark volumes . . . Harris and Emberley established themselves as the purveyors of reader-friendly, straightforward information on human sexuality for readers as young as seven. Here they successfully tackle the big questions . . . for even younger kids." – The Horn Book (starred review) Young children are curious about almost everything, especially their bodies. And young children are not afraid to ask questions. What makes me a girl? What makes me a boy? Why are some parts of girls' and boys' bodies the same and why are some parts different? How was I made? Where do babies come from? Is it true that a stork brings babies to mommies and daddies? IT'S NOT THE STORK! helps answer these endless and perfectly normal questions that preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary school children ask about how they began. Through lively, comfortable language and sensitive, engaging artwork, Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley address readers in a reassuring way, mindful of a child's healthy desire for straightforward information. Two irresistible cartoon characters, a curious bird and a squeamish bee, provide comic relief and give voice to the full range of emotions and reactions children may experience while learning about their amazing bodies. Vetted and approved by science, health, and child development experts, the information is up-to-date, age-appropriate, and scientifically accurate, and always aimed at helping kids feel proud, knowledgeable, and comfortable about their own bodies, about how they were born, and about the family they are part of.
