Download or read book The Book Of Nature Myths written by Florence Holbrook and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over fifty short myths about animals, birds, and natural subjects, suitable for the child's own reading in the second grade. These magical explanations of the phenomena of nature given by early peoples are told in a simple, yet interesting fashion and appeal to the child's sense of wonder about the same phenomena. Most of the myths are drawn from Native American sources, but a few Greek and Japanese myths are also included.Florence Holbrook: "In preparing the Book of Nature Myths the desire has been to make a second reader which would be adapted to the child's interest, ability, and progress....These myths will gratify the child's desire for complete stories, and their intrinsic merit makes them valuable for oral reproduction.....The stories have been adapted to youthful minds from myths contained in the works of many students of folk-lore whose scholarship is undisputed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FEELING the great need of stories founded upon good literature, which are within the comprehension of little children, I have written the following stories, hoping that they may suggest to primary teachers the great wealth of material within our reach. Many teachers, who firmly believe that reading should be something more than mere word-getting while the child's reading habit is forming, are practically helpless without the use of a printing press. We will all agree that myths and fables are usually beautiful truths clothed in fancy, and the dress is almost always simple and transparent. Who can study these myths and not feel that nature has a new language for him, and that though the tales may be thousands of years old, they are quite as true as they were in the days of Homer. If the trees and the flowers, the clouds and the wind, all tell wonderful stories to the child he has sources of happiness of which no power can deprive him. And when we consider that here, too, is the key which unlocks so much of the best in art and literature, we feel that we cannot rank too highly the importance of the myth in the primary schoolroom.
