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, Juvenile, and Adult books at www.FlyingChipmunkPublishing.com, or Friend us on Facebook for our latest releases.

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.
