Download or read book The Snowy Day written by Ezra Jack Keats and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly

Download or read book New Testament Parables for Children written by Mrs. E. C. Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Testament Parables for Children: Illustrated by Pictures From the Masters and Original Stories These Lessons on the new-testament Parables are prepared in the belief that historic information about the Bible is of little value to young children, but that, at their impressible age, strong moral influ ences are of the very first importance. In the Author's experience with children, pictures and stories have been found to make far deeper impressions on the minds and hearts of little ones than any other means of teaching. This Manual is designed to aid parents and Sunday-school teachers of young children in using a series of cards, which are duplicates of its illustrated pages. Each Parable may serve for two lessons: the first will naturally centre in the picture the second, in the original story. In the first lesson, let the teacher examine the picture thoroughly with the children, even in its minutest details. The text of Scripture and the verse of poetry may be recited by the children separately or in concert. Then let the story of the Parable be told by the children the teacher may lead them on, if necessary, by questions and hints, but Should have them feel that they tell it. The Parable well in the minds of the children, let a talk follow, for which the ques tions in the Manual are intended only as suggestions and helps. These questions have not dealt with the larger, and what may be called national, interpretation of the Parables, but have taken up only a simple and practical one, the larger one not being profitable or even possible to children. At the second lesson, recall briefly the story Of the Parable, especially the truth taught in it. Then, as an illustration of this truth, read or tell the story in the Manual. Encourage the children to talk freely about it, and to tell you how it teaches the same lesson that is taught in the Parable, the verse of poetry, and the text of Scripture. For any satisfactory measure of success in the use of these cards, it is absolutely essential that each child should have to himself a card of the lesson taught, that he may take it home, learn the Scripture text and poetry, and become familiar with the story of the Parable before coming to the class. It is also exceedingly important that he have the card in his hand for constant reference during the entire lesson or les sons. Procure, therefore, as many sets of cards as there are pupils in the class. It is pleasant and profitable to give the child the card for his own when the study of it is finished; but if economy must be considered, the use of the envelope will preserve the cards so that they may be used by several classes in succession. Take up the envelopes at the beginning of the lesson, to be given out again at the close of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Day of Pleasure: A Simple Story for Young Children The grey dawn begins slowly to spread over earth and sky; the stars grow pale, and one by one disappear. The moon looks like a thin, round, white mist, and sinks towards the west, fading from sight as she sinks. A streak of bright crimson is seen in the east; the birds awake and sing joyously on hedge and tree. The crimson in the east grows brighter and beams with golden light; the morning breeze springs up, and rosy clouds float over the clear blue sky. The glorious sun rises over the green earth; the dew drops glitter on every leaf and every blade of grass and lake and stream and ocean reflect his flashing rays. Sheep and cattle can be seen feeding in the meadows and on the hill sides; the trees and woods throw long shadows on the ground. The sunbeams make the window panes of all the cottages and houses glance like diamonds, and dart in to wake the sleepers. There is one window into which a sunbeam peeps gently through roses and jasmines and quivering green leaves, and lights up a pretty room. First it tips with silver the harp that an angel holds then touches his wings and his face; then it shows pictures on the wall; now it reaches a small bed with white curtains, steals inside them and kisses a little sleeping boy. How fast asleep he is! There he lies with his head on the pillow breathing peacefully. He has rosy cheeks and curly hair, but his eyes are shut, so we cannot see them yet, and he does not feel the sunbeam nor hear the birds. The door opens softly. Who is it that comes in so silently in her white dress, with roses in her hand, and leans over the little sleeper with looks of tender love? It is his mother. She kisses his cheek fondly; she strokes his hair; she says, Bless you, my little darling, but he sleeps soundly still.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories to Tell the Littlest Ones Gradually other loves have taken their place in the home-story world, and I have told my boy and girl many tales of many kinds, true, fairy, and foolish, as they call humorous stories, but they still love the one that begins with Peter Rabbit. Once in a while, in the long series Of days, some happy inspiration has given me a better thought than usual, and a real story has popped out of my mouth in place of the mediocre inventions of habit. These few real stories have been retold by request of the original audience, and told again to larger audiences many times. It has seemed to me that the best of them might prove of value to other teach ers and mothers of very, little children, for the demand is continuous, and the sup ply of material suitable for such tiny hearers is exceedingly small.

Download or read book Everyday Classics First Reader Classic Reprint written by Fannie Wyche Dunn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Classics First Reader Children come to a First Reader after the Primer know ing a few hundred common words, and able to make out, by phonic analysis, some new words of simple form. That is, they have read a little, and acquired the power to read a little more. The problem of the First Reader is to stimulate in the children further interest, to increase their list of known words, and their command of the phonic elements, to quicken their pace and strengthen their confidence in their reading, and so enlarge their powers and add to their pleasure. For this, as for the other books of the series, the editors have chosen, from the established children's classics, prose and verse which all are expected to know. Much use is made of stories of the repetitive type. Not only do chil dren like the repeated form, but they get from it the most pleasing and effective kind of drill, and a stimulating sense of achievement. The poetry, the fables, and the other stories present ideas that are simple and congenial to young minds. New words are introduced very slowly at first, and are systematically repeated. Sure and immediate control of words is the right foundation for reading. In the illustrations the artists have not only helped to interpret the literature, but they have satisfied the sense of beauty and the sense of humor. Except for the word list at the end of the book, all teaching apparatus, helps and suggestions for the teacher, are excluded. These are given in the Manual written to accompany the text.
