Summary

In "The World of Peter Rabbit & His Friends," Beatrix Potter presents a delightful anthology of fourteen beloved children's tales, enriched by over 450 original illustrations. The collection encapsulates Potter's signature blend of whimsical storytelling and intricate watercolor depictions, immersing readers in the pastoral charm of the English countryside. Each story features anthropomorphic animal characters, particularly the mischievous Peter Rabbit, and is imbued with moral lessons that resonate with both children and adults. This compilation not only celebrates Potter's literary genius but also serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the Victorian era's appreciation for nature and the formative principles of childhood exploration and learning. Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English author and illustrator whose intimate relationship with the natural world fueled her literary creativity. Growing up in the secluded Lake District, her early experiences with animals and the countryside deeply influenced her storytelling style and artistic sensibilities. Potter's dedication to conservation and her pioneering spirit as a female author in a male-dominated literary world shaped the charming narratives and vibrant illustrations that have since cemented her status as a celebrated figure in children'Äôs literature. I highly recommend this enchanting collection to readers of all ages who wish to revisit the magic of childhood or introduce young ones to classic literature. "The World of Peter Rabbit & His Friends" not only showcases the timelessness of Potter's work but also provides a gateway to appreciating the beauty of nature and the adventures that await within it.

    This first volume of Bernard Evslin’s award-winning series introduces the monsters, demons, gods, and heroes of Greek mythology Athena, wise and powerful daughter of Zeus, is the most feared of all the goddesses. Poseidon, the “earth shaker,” rules the sea with his thunderous wrath. Each wants to control Olympus absolutely. Obsessed with destroying Poseidon, Athena summons her crows by day and owls by night to spy on his vast water realm. The long-simmering feud spawns a multitude of monsters, the most terrifying of which is the brass-headed colossus Amycus. This classic work features a sprawling cast of gods and mortals waging battle on land and by sea, from Zeus to the Titan god Prometheus, from Hades, who guards the gates of hell, to Circe, immortal weaver of spells, to the great war chief Ulysses, who sails in search of his long-lost home. Monsters of Greek Mythology brings to life fearsome creatures like giant, flame-spitting wingless dragons, a spider named Arachne, goats and swordfish endowed with magical properties, and the Cyclopes—one-eyed male and female goliaths even more powerful than the Titans.

Now Pat Williams brings their stories to vivid life for children ages 9-12. 
     
    These engaging stories of men, women, and even kids who showed courage despite overwhelming odds during America's fight for freedom will inspire young readers to face their fears, take calculated risks, and imagine a better future for themselves and their country.
