TWO LEGS - A story of Mankind through the Ages for Children

Carl Ewald

Sinossi

Way back at the beginning of time, when animals and mankind could converse with ease, Mrs Two legs had a son. All the animals gathered around and all generously gave gifts to the Two Legs family.

But the Two Legs family were never really accepted as one of the animals. They walked erect and not on all fours, their foreheads were high, their eyes firm and steady, they had no fur and they went about hand in hand. How strange?

Here Carl Ewald paints a picture of natural competition amongst species and how certain species rise to places of domination, but in particular how man, once equal with all species, rose to become the superior being on planet Earth.
Ewald takes young readers on a journey from the beginning of time through all epochs – the stone age, the iron age, the industrial revolution and the rise steam power, to the invention of electricity at which at the time the book was written.

There are also warnings that every action has a consequence and that when mixed with greed has dire consequences as humankind is now finding out.

However, sit back and enjoy a trip through the ages of man, and be prepared to answer questions, lots of questions, from bright and enquiring minds.

Little Green - Growing Up in the...

Chun Yu

I was born in a small city near the East Sea,when the Great Cultural Revolution began.My name is Little Green,my country Zhong Guo, the Middle Kingdom.When I was ten years old,our leader had died and the revolution ended.And this is how I remember it.When Chun Yu was born in a small city in China, she was born into a country in revolution. The streets were filled with roaming Red Guards, the walls were covered with slogans, and reeducation meetings were held in all workplaces. Every family faced danger and humiliation, even the youngest children.Shortly after Chun’s birth, her beloved father was sent to a peasant village in the countryside to be reeducated in the ways of Chairman Mao. Chun and her brother stayed behind with their mother, who taught in a country middle school where Mao’s Little Red Book was a part of every child’s education. Chun Yu’s young life was witness to a country in turmoil, struggle, and revolution—the only life she knew.This first-person memoir of a child’s view of the Chinese Cultural Revolution is a stunning account of a country in crisis and a testimony to the spirit of the individual—no matter how young or how innocent.

Alcott, September, 1887
