Jane and her sister felt very sorry for him, and when they were about leaving they gave him a few pennies which they had in their bags. - This was very kind in the little girls. We were glad to see them so willing to part with their pennies, that they might thus enable the old gentleman to buy a loaf of bread or some cake for his dinner.

Download or read book A Child s Garden of Verses Classic Reprint written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's Garden of Verses Small wonder is it that this man - who to the last of his days retained that enthusiasm which made him as a child throw himself into his games in a very passion of play - could write for children in the spirit of a child. In him the power to reveal his personality in his writings was combined with that of recalling at any time sensations once experienced. And thus in the simple verses of his Garden we have a true picture of the frail, brown-eyed little boy whose restless nights faithful Cummie soothed; so many of whose days were spent in the Land of Counterpane, the pleasant aspect of which he was yet able to see; whose happiest hours were passed in the dear, delightful garden at Colinton - that enchanted ground where his vivid imagination ran riot. While the quaint conceits and the deep philosophy of some of these poems of childhood are beyond the power of children to appreciate, the thoughts in the lines are children's thoughts and the point of View that of a child, and few are the childish readers who will not be captivated by their charm. And since an acquaintance with this man's work means an abiding joy in him that grows with familiarity, the teacher or parent who leads a child to form the acquaintance renders a service that is indeed worth while.

Download or read book Stories and Tales written by Emma M. C. Greenleaf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Tales: From the Animal World Nobody likes to be always learning something. Even Solomon was fain to say at the end, And much study is a weariness to the flesh. Beef and whole-wheat bread are, undoubtedly, muscle builders, but a delicate pudding, or nuts and raisins, or an ice-cream are very pleasant at the end of a dinner, and with out them we feel defrauded Of something that is the cherished heritage of civilized man. Perhaps education has no better purpose than to create a hunger for knowledge and an absorbing desire to learn; but do you, my grown-up reader, ever feel in such mood that philosophy and abstruse poetry and logic pall upon your intellectual taste? Do you sometimes feel in such' mood that only a fascinating monthly magazine or an absorbing short story is the measure of your receptive powers? Everybody must; everybody does; and children more than any others. Children do grow, sometimes, just a little tired Of plumule and radicle, and vertical lines, and Charles and Mary Lamb; while the teacher and the mother, finding that so much time is needed to explain and illustrate, often feel that the child's reading would be far better if he read much more and they explained much less. I once heard a second grade class in a Chicago school reading an easy {esop's Fables as well as you or I could. How in the world did you get second-year children to read like this? I asked the teacher. By having these delightful books which they like - no, love; for, truly, that is their feeling for these fables, she replied. Not a child ever looks around for something else to do when we read these stories. They scarcely raise their eyes from the page, they are so absorbed in them. They have learned to read because they like to read, -and, really, would like to be reading most of the time, if other books were as interesting as these are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yellow Fairy Book The Editor thinks that children will readily forgive him for publishing another Fairy Book. We have had the Blue, the Red, the Green, and here is the Yellow. If children are pleased, and they are so kind as to say that they are pleased. The Editor does not care very much for what other people may say. Now, there is one gentleman who seems to think that it is not quite right to print so many fairy tales, with pictures, and to publish them in red and blue covers. He is named Mr. G. Laurence Gomme, and he is president of a learned body called the Folk Lore Society. Once a year he makes his address to his subjects, of whom the Editorie one, and Mr. Joseph Jacobs (who has published many delightful fairy tales with pretty pictures) 1 is another. Fancy, then, the dismay of Mr. Jacobs, and of the Editor, when they heard their president say that he did not think it very nice in them to publish fairy books, above all, red, green, and blue fairy books! They said that they did not see any harm in it, and they were ready to put themselves on their country, ' and be tried by a jury of children. And, indeed, they still see no harm in what they have done; nay, like Father William in the poem, they are ready 'to do it again and again.'

God made that garden for them to live in. It was a very delightful place. The air was pure and sweet. The weather was neither too warm/ nor too cold. It was like one of our most pleasant days in the begin ning of summer. The garden was full of all kinds of beautiful trees, many of which bore the most delicious fruit; and a clear stream ran among them to water the garden. And to make the trees and plants grow. It was there that Adam and Eve lived - both good and happy; loving God and each other, and taking care of the garden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a terrible mistake. Instead of having thirty classrooms side by side, Wayside School is thirty storeys high! (The builder said he was sorry.) Perhaps that's why all sorts of strange and unusual things keep happening – especially in Mrs Jewls's classroom on the very top floor. There's the terrifying Mrs Gorf, who gets an unusually fruity comeuppance; Terrible Todd, who always gets sent home early; and Mauricia, who has a strange ice-cream addiction. Meanwhile, John can only read upside down, and Leslie is determined to sell her own toes. From top to bottom, Wayside is packed with quirky and hilarious characters who are all brought to life in this new edition with delightful illustrations by Aleksei Bitskoff throughout. This is an unmissable, irrepressible story of mixed-up mayhem from Louis Sachar, the bestselling author of Holes.

Download or read book Centerburg Tales written by Robert McCloskey and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1977-10-27 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centerburg might be your town. Grampa Hercules and his never-ending tall tales, Dulcy Dooner, the uncooperative citizen, unbusinesslike Uncle Ulysses and his friendly lunchroom, the flustered sheriff, the pompous judge—they are all as American as they come. But there's a subtle and delightful difference. In Centerburg, along with the routine of day-to-day living, the most preposterous things keep happening. But nothing fazes Homer Price! Ragweeds taller than fire ladders, music that sets a whole town dancing—he solves these problems calmly and efficiently. Homer Price is a boy with a good supply of common sense—and ingenuity! Homer's Grampa Hercules is a delightful old rascal and his extravagent reminiscences of his youth are the starting point of many of the episodes. The chapter titles are as enticing as the chapters themselves: The Hide-a-Ride, Looking for Gold, Ever So Much More So, Experiment 13, Grampa Hercules and the Gravitty-Bitties, Pie and Punch and You-Know-Whats. Mr. McCloskey's characters have warmth and kindness and a healthy curiosity; but they are not above a few minor faults and foibles. They are unmistakenably alive. Like Mr. McCloskey himself, they are perpetually amused by the everyday hazards and discrepancies around them.
