The giant laughed. He was mocking the people of God. But then a young lad walked toward him. It was David, the shepherd boy. He had just picked up five smooth stones from a brook and put them in a shepherd's bag. The purpose of this series is to present Bible stories in such a fashion that young children can read them. read them to your four or five-year-old, and let your six or seven-year-old use them as readers.
David knew that one should be prepared for anything when one climbs a mountain, but he never dreamed what he would find that June morning on the mountain ledge.
There stood an enormous bird, with a head like an eagle, a neck like a swan and a scarlet crest. The most astonishing thing was that the bird had an open book on the ground and was reading from it!
This was David’s first sight of the fabulous Phoenix and the beginning of a pleasant and profitable partnership. The Phoenix found a great deal lacking in David’s education—he flunked questions like “How do you tell a true from a false Unicorn?”—and undertook to supplement it with a practical education, an education that would be a preparation for Life. The education had to be combined with offensive and defensive measures against a Scientist who was bent on capturing the Phoenix, but the two projects together involved exciting and hilarious adventures for boy and bird.
The author wrote a new Foreword in 2000 for our edition, here's a quote from it:
“David and the Phoenix was my first book. I began writing it in the late 1940s when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley. The kernel of the story popped into my head one day as a vision of a large and pompous bird diving out of a window, tripping on the sill, and crashing into a rose arbor below. Somehow (I’m still mystified by the process) the bird became the Phoenix and the window became a boy’s bedroom window. With that settled, all I had to do was invent what happened before and after.”
—Edward Ormondroyd
A wonderful read-aloud. Illustrated by Joan Raysor.
As well as the name of a virus, a corona is a crown, the pearly glow around the sun in certain astronomical conditions and a poetic form where interlinking lines connect a sequence. It is the perfect name therefore for this new collection of 150 poems by the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite, each one written in response to the Bible s 150 psalms as they appear in William Coverdale s timeless translation.
After the Second World War, Anne De Vries, one of the most popular novelists in The Netherlands, was commissioned to capture in literary form the spirit and agony of those five harrowing years of Nazi occupation. The result was Journey Through the Night, a four volume bestseller that has gone through more than thirty printings in The Netherlands.
Frog and Toad enjoy spending their days together. They fly kites, celebrate Toad's birthday, and share the shivers when Frog tells a scary story. Most of all, they have fun together—every day of the year.
The French explorer Hernando de Soto went to the New World hoping to find the fabled seven cities of gold, as well as a passageway to the Pacific Ocean. What he found instead was the Mississippi River. Like many explorers before and after him, he was disappointed that he could not find what he was seeking, but he left his mark on the land that was to become the United States of America in some interesting ways.
The life of William III, Prince of Orange, Stadtholder of the United Netherlands, and King of England (with Queen Mary II) is one of the most fascinating in all of history. Both the author and the publisher of these books have been interested in this subject for many years. Although the stories as told in these books are partly fictional, all the main events are faithful to history.
