Sinopse

In "Two Young Lumbermen: Or, From Maine to Oregon for Fortune," Edward Stratemeyer crafts a gripping adventure narrative that encapsulates the spirit of American enterprise and resilience in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the burgeoning lumber industry, this novel follows the journey of two enterprising youths who traverse vast landscapes from Maine to Oregon in search of fortune. Stratemeyer's distinctive literary style combines clear, direct prose with vivid descriptions, creating a sense of immediacy and adventure that is characteristic of early American literature, reflecting the nation's westward expansion and the quest for personal success. Edward Stratemeyer was a prolific author and publisher, best known for creating popular children's series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. His upbringing in a working-class family and early exposure to the American wilderness significantly influenced his thematic choices. Stratemeyer aimed to inspire young readers, embedding moral lessons within exhilarating tales of adventure and perseverance, drawing on his own belief in hard work and the American Dream. This book is a must-read for those interested in American literature, young adult adventure narratives, and historical representations of industrial transformation. Stratemeyer's engaging storytelling not only entertains but also immerses the reader in a formative era of American history, making it a valuable addition to both personal and academic libraries.

    Wait...Who Got Goosed? is a contemporary, remixed version of Mother Goose's memorable fables about our human foibles. As in the original rhymes, modern day characters' struggles with questionable judgment result in predictable, and sometimes messy, outcomes. Just what is it that causes us to ignore cautionary tales of old and continue the cycle of having to learn (or not learn) from our own mistakes? 
    Having the opportunity to rewrite these familiar lyric stories about missteps through a more humanitarian lens made the journey of writing a modern version of stories from the past especially enjoyable. The Companion Activity Book offers the same potential wordplay and enjoyment for young and young-at-heart poets alike. Readers of all ages, including those familiar with the original Mother Goose rhymes, will enjoy this new iteration of poems that add insight and poignancy to lessons of humility and kindness. Many poems highlight the potential favorability of outcomes when responded to with compassion. So often, serious topics shared through poetry and humor can make our shortcomings a bit easier to digest.

    "Tom, Tom, the piper's son, 
    Stole a pig and away he run; 
    The pig was eat and Tom was beat 
    And Tom ran crying down the street." Why did Tom steal that pig? Was he a bad boy? Not according to the story behind this rhyme. Tom was the only son of a good for nothing man who could only play the pipes and that very badly. Little Tom was forced to steal food for his father and himself as they travelled around the country. Was he beaten? oh yes, he was and very soundly by the owner of the little pig that he stole. But he learned his lesson and became a good citizen from then on. Listen to this tale and get a chuckle now and then because it is very droll.
