There is enough for all
I remember reading RABBIT HILL as a kid and loving it so I recently picked a copy up again and found myself still charmed by the sweet story. Lawson gives the animals of Rabbit Hill distinct personalities - albeit they act more like people than the real species they portray. The story is quite humorous thanks to some comical characters and situations. What little suspense there is in the book ...

A Classic Rememberance of World War II
I first read this book so many years ago that I can't remember, but I think it was about when I was in the eighth grade, say about 1955. I remember the book, and I remember the Van Johnson movie. The scene where the Chinese peasant brings Van Johnson the pair of slippers only to see that he has lost one leg stays with me even now. ==This is a classic book. It was written by one of the pilots on ...

Our first successful read-aloud
I had tried many different books from Black Beauty to Little Britches to enrich our homeschool literature time. No joy. Of course, to be fair, it's worth mentioning that my children are still all 6 and younger (all five of them!) When we did a thematic unit study on penguins, I came across this book in our local homeschool store, and it was a HIT! They all begged me to read "just one more ...

Teresa of Calcutta: Serving the Poorest of the Poor (Sower Series) (Sower Series)

D. Jeanene Watson

Mott Media (MI), 1984

Great Book!
This book tells about the joys and struggles of Mother Teresa. It tells about her childhood, how she announced she wanted to be a nun, and about the children of India. She sets up a hospital for injured people, visits lepars and more. This book tells of how Mother Teresa lived, and what she sacrificed. This book is awesome and I recommend it to anyone.

The Sword in the Stone

G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1939

Fragmented Masterpiece
Finding a COMPLETE version of this book is difficult. When the Sword and the Stone was grafted onto the rest of the series to form the Once and Future King, T.H. White removed several scenes from the book. Growing up enjoying the Walt Disney version of the film, I was disappointed when I read the Once and Future King. Where was the wizard's duel between Merlyn and Madam Mim? Surely, Disney ...

Ben and Me
ISBN 0440420385 (which now belongs to another book) - Really well-done, tongue in cheek "biography" of Benjamin Franklin, a man who is "undeniably stupid at times", according to Amos, the mouse, whose brilliant ideas seem to be all that stand between Franklin and certain death with his crazy experiments. Amos, oldest of 26 children, comes from a family of church mice. Knowing how hard it is ...

Quick, three beers!
I've been listening to the predecessor of "More Birding by Ear," i.e. "Birding by Ear (Eastern and Central North America)" for over a year now, and the music-processing regions in my brain are finally sorting the symphony of bird song in the woods and swamps around our house into individual melodies. I strongly recommend that you start with Walton and Lawson's "Birding by Ear" as it has recorded ...

Viking Juvenile, 1938

Find your own place in the world
Originally published in 1938, this one is a delight to see back in print thanks to New York Review Books. The Scottish setting is charming and the central message, to be who you are, is important. Not content to be a hunter like his father's family or a farmer like his mother's family, Wee Gillis finds his own place in this world as a bagpiper. Baby boomers will be familiar with Robert ...

The Viking Press, 1940

A "Children's" book through my tears.
I was born in '44 and my mother read this book to me time and again while showing me the drawings. I later endeavoured to read it myself. The book is not racist! It is an accurate depiction of the way things were and it tells, and tells well. the stories of the lives of the people in the book. It tells of the warmth of the love they had for each other, but without saying so. It tells of the ...

Mr Revere and I

Robert Lawson

Little, Brown Young Readers, 1988

Great Read-Aloud for elementary school kids
This book is such fun for adults to read to kids! The hors-ey perspective on American history is a hoot, the vocabulary is challenging, and there are lots of opportunities for discussion with your bright child. The history is accurate, too. It would be an unusually motivated 9 year old who could read this alone, but as a read aloud, it offers benefits to parent and child.
