Twenty-seven stories adapted for young children from selections of
works of classic writers of the ancient world. The stories were
chosen by the author for their inspirational value, either "because
they contained fine moral points, or else because they were poetic
statements of natural phenomena which might enhance the study of
natural science." Writers represented in the collection include
Plato, Homer, Hesiod, Aristophanes, Pliny, and Ovid. Numerous black
and white illustrations complement the text. Suitable for ages 6
and up.
An outstanding collection of poems that appeal to both boys and
girls, compiled by a teacher who believed in the formative power of
learning poetry by heart. Children, she maintains, should build for
their future and get, while they are children, what only the fresh
imagination of the child can assimilate. They should store up an
untold wealth of heroic sentiment; they should acquire the habit of
carrying a literary quality in their conversation; they should
carry a heart full of the fresh and delightful associations and
memories connected with poetry hours to brighten mature years. They
should develop their memories while they have memories to develop.
The poems are grouped into six sections (The Budding Moment, The
Little Child, The Day's at the Morn, Lad and Lassie, On and On,
Grow Old Along with Me) to make it easier to locate poems that
match a child's maturity. Suitable for ages 8 and up.

Long years ago many teachers in central Illinois said: "We want a
Kipling book." The demand was for a book that could be used in each
grade of the public schools, if possible in the child's own hands.
The use of "The Just So Stories" and "The Jungle Book" has come
more and more into practice through the importunities of teachers.
These books have been entered on many school lists as
"supplementary" reading. This book is intended to reach the hands
of children in lower grades, kindergartens, and nurseries, by its
picture pages, which will be supplemented by the reading of the
text by teachers or parents. * * * * This book takes the best poems
and stories from those volumes and presents them here in one place,
providing your child with a wide sample of works from this famous
author. After reading this book, your child will want to see and
hear more stories like those that first caught his, or her,
attention. He, or she, might even be inspired to seek out all the
works by Kipling, greatly broadening the horizons of their reading
experiences. * * * * "Kipling Stories and Poems Every Child Should
Know" is a compilation of Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," "The
Second Jungle Book," "Just So Stories," "Departmental Ditties and
Ballads and Barrack Room Ballads," "The Seven Seas," "The Five
Nations," "Under the Deodars," "The Day's Work," "Captains
Courageous," "Many Inventions," "The Naulahka," and "The Just So
Song Book." * * * * "Kipling Stories and Poems Every Child Should
Know" has appeared in print from Houghton Mifflin Company as a
single book, a two volume set, and a three volume set, all with a
publication date of 1909. This volume faithfully reproduces the
illustrations and stories in those editions, with minor edits to
correct some words to a more modern spelling (i.e, changing
traveller to traveler). * * * * Check our other Children's,

1891. Illustrated by J.M. Gleeson, Charles Livingston Bull and the
Author. Kipling, English short-story writer, novelist and poet, who
celebrated the heroism of British colonial soldiers in India and
Burma, was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for
Literature in 1907. The editor has created a text from a selection
of Kipling's works intended to reach the hands of children in lower
grades, kindergartens, and nurseries. She writes in the preface
that Kipling is one of the most virile writers of our age. He lays
India at our doors. He makes the jungle as attractive as a theater.
He is to India what Muir is to the great glaciers, what Lanier is
to our southeast coast. See other titles by this author available
from Kessinger Publishing.
