Book excerpt: Excerpt from Polly's Lion: California Story for Children Dear children: When I was your age and Opened a new story book, I did so much wish that the writer would first tell me if the heroine was a real person, her name, where she lived, and just enough about the story so that I could understand the beginning. I can assure you that Polly is a real child, is pretty, lovable, and intelligent for her years. She is a native daughter of the Golden State (california). She came to us one bright morning in April, when the plains of the San Joaquin Valley were covered with beautiful wild flowers, and the meadow larks and orioles sang for joy all day long. You may be sure that she received a glad welcome when she arrived, and a downy little bed, almost hid in white lace, was ready for her. When she was six weeks old, a clergyman came down from San Francisco to baptize her, and she was named Mary Lorrain, but her mamma one day, just in fun, called her Polly, and she is still called by this pet name. She is fond of it herself, and when I say Mary, she will answer, Auntie, please call me Polly; I think it so very pretty. Her household is composed of her dear self, father, mother, and brother Rob bie J., younger than herself, and her Auntie Lorrain, who is her god mother. Her home is called Sweetbrier, from this delicious rose climbing over the building. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Well, maybe, just maybe, this Lion - so well dressed and polite and charming - isn't too fierce for you... "Dunbar's unexpected sense of humour makes A Lion is a Lion every bit as original as Judith Kerr's classic" Irish Times From the creator of Penguin and the Tilly and Friends series comes a wicked, rollicking read-aloud which asks the question: Is a lion still a lion if he ... wears a hat? And carries an umbrella? Is a lion still a lion if he ... arrives at your door and invites himself in with a "How do you do?" (Isn't he polite!) And is a lion still a lion if he asks for a dance? What about when he licks his lips and says, "Oh yes, lunch would be lovely, thank you..." Is a lion still a lion then?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is a lion still a lion if he wears a hat? With whimsical illustrations and a nod to earlier classics, Polly Dunbar celebrates the shrewd mind of a child — and the power of saying no. Is a lion still a lion . . . if he skips down the street singing “Hoobie-doobie-doo"? Dapper in his hat and flourishing a cane, a very large lion invites himself inside, inquires about Auntie Sue, and spins the two children of the house around the room in a silly dance. He doesn’t mind at all if they invite him to lunch, where he gobbles up all his greens and devours the plate, too. When he leans in to ask for dessert, his sharp teeth gleam oh so pearly white, and it seems very possible that he may just bite. . . . Surely it’s time to go-go-go — until, that is, the brave little girl finds her voice in a most satisfying way. The Cat in the Hat meets Pierre meets The Tiger Who Came to Tea in this rollicking story with an exhilarating ending.

Download or read book Lions of the West written by Robert Morgan and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Thomas Jefferson’s birth in 1743 to the California Gold Rush in 1849, America’s westward expansion comes to life in the hands of a writer fascinated by the way individual lives link up, illuminate one another, and collectively impact history. Jefferson, a naturalist and visionary, dreamed that the United States would stretch across the North American continent, from ocean to ocean. The account of how that dream became reality unfolds in the stories of Jefferson and nine other Americans whose adventurous spirits and lust for land pushed the westward boundaries: Andrew Jackson, John “Johnny Appleseed” Chapman, David Crockett, Sam Houston, James K. Polk, Winfield Scott, Kit Carson, Nicholas Trist, and John Quincy Adams. Their stories—and those of the nameless thousands who risked their lives to settle on the frontier, displacing thou- sands of Native Americans—form an extraordinary chapter in American history that led directly to the cataclysm of the Civil War. Filled with illustrations, portraits, maps, battle plans, notes, and time lines, Lions of the West is a richly authoritative biography of America—its ideals, its promise, its romance, and its destiny.
