Sinossi

Basil Temple Blackwood's 'Cautionary Tales for Children' is a collection of darkly humorous and cautionary poems written in a style reminiscent of traditional nursery rhymes. The book serves as a satirical commentary on the moral lessons often taught to children through popular literature, using exaggerated scenarios and macabre humor to drive home its messages. Blackwood's use of simple language and playful rhymes adds to the deceptive innocence of the tales, making them all the more shocking and thought-provoking. This work can be seen as a subversion of the established literary norms of children's literature, challenging readers to reconsider the purpose and effectiveness of traditional moralizing in storytelling. 'Cautionary Tales for Children' is a unique contribution to the genre, blending dark humor with moral instruction in a way that is both entertaining and unsettling. It is a must-read for those interested in exploring the boundaries of children's literature and the power of storytelling to educate and provoke thought.

In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience:
- Lastly, our hand‐picked Memorable Quotes distill pivotal lines and turning points, serving as touchstones for the collection's central themes.

    In the second title in the slam-dunk new series from best-selling author Amy Ignatow, the Odds are back and trying to figure out just who inflicted these lame abilities on them in the first place. 
      
    Nick can still teleport four inches to the left, and Farshad’s thumbs are still super strong. Cookie can still read minds, if they’re thinking of directions, and Martina can still change the color of her eyes. But now, Martina can see the invisible, and when Nick is super stressed, he can move a lot farther than four inches. As their powers evolve in possibly dangerous ways, the Odds are even more determined to solve the mystery of their origin, but it means interacting at school—a serious social risk to popular girl Cookie. 
      
    Soon, it becomes clear that Auxano, the chemical company that employs half the town, is involved. With the help of some renegade Amish teenagers and Ed, the invisible bus driver, this unlikely group of companions will uncover a nefarious experiment in which they’ve become unwitting test subjects. They’ll also begin to become something even more incredible—friends.

    "My granny is taking me on THE WALK. “Because leaders are not born,” she says. “They’re made through molding and modeling.” “What’s the walk?” I ask. “You’ll see. And there’s a few treasured souls coming too.” Granny and her granddaughter are going on a walk. But this is not just any walk. It’s a walk that must not be missed, one that is more important than ever but has been made increasingly difficult for many to participate in. It’s a walk that joins together a community, that lifts voices, that allows us to speak up, stand up, and say what’s on our minds. It’s a walk for hope. Where are all these treasured souls going? Just walk on and find out."
