Peterson First Guides are the first books the beginning naturalist needs. Condensed versions of the famous Peterson Field Guides, the First Guides focus on the animals, plants, and other natural things you are most likely to see. They make it fun to get into the field and easy to progress to the full-fledged Peterson Guides.
In this, the first of the series of classic books featuring the silly goose, Petunia finds a book--and, deciding that if she owns a book she must be wise, dispenses hilariously mistaken advice to the other animals in the farmyard.
The book is about the narrator’s (Anodos) dream-like adventures in fairyland, where he confronts tree-spirits and the shadow, sojourns to the palace of the fairy queen, and searches for the spirit of the earth.
The tale is vintage MacDonald, conveying a profound sadness and a poignant longing for death.
With poetic language and striking illustrations, Weitzman tells the story of how one of the greatest boats of ancient Egypt came to be built—and built again.
This manual is all about solids, liquids, and gases. It addresses many physical science concepts, including solubility, crystal structure, evaporation, and condensation. In addition, it contains recipes for slime, which represents the essence of a positive, hands-on science experience. This unit is rich in content and easy-to-run student activities.
A truthful and absorbing narrative of life in Connecticut in 1830. Phebe Fairchild travels alone by stagecoach from her home in New Haven to spend a year with her country cousins, while her sea-captain father has taken her mother on a long voyage. Through the many adventures of that year and her struggles to keep her greatest treasure—a beloved book—she learns to understand her father’s parting advice, “You’ll need patience and courage a-plenty, but do as you’re told and never be afraid.”
Lois Lenski devoted many months of enthusiastic research to making her story rich and accurate in background. She brings to life for young people as well as older readers a fascinating period of New England life. The book is noteworthy as to format, being designed by the artist, and generously illustrated in a manner suggestive of the period.
A Newbery Honor book.
From the Publisher:
Philippians is a book that challenges our expectations. Paul, the author, is writing during a period of imprisonment. We might expect him to be despondent, and the tone of the book to be defeatist. Instead, we find him very much delighting in Jesus.
Kay Mumford takes us through this intriguing book in thirty undated devotions. Each reading challenges us by the truth that Christ is the most precious thing in life.
Each devotion considers a short passage, allowing time for personal reflection and prayer. They also include engaging questions to help us apply the Bible to our daily lives.
It has long been the custom for every 12-year-old girl from Philomena’s village to go to the city to do “service” as housemaids—before coming home to be married. But Philomena’s aunt had gone and never returned. On her deathbed, Babushka instructs her little granddaughter to go to Prague and find her aunt, who must surely be rich now, and do “service” in her household. With the confidence that Babushka is still watching over her from heaven, Philomena travels to Prague, the “city of a hundred spires.” Once there, she bounces from one adventure into another as doors open and close and unconventional guidance—from Babushka?—moves her in ever new directions. Though Philomena may grow slightly impatient with Babushka’s methods, she is steadily gaining experience, friends—and pets!—until unexpectedly she is able to accomplish her goal.
Kate Seredy, renowned author and artist, brings to life both the characters and their setting of pre-World War I Czechoslovakia in this beautifully illustrated story of irrepressible Philomena.
