  Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) is one of America’s most remarkable authors. Wikipedia lists Alger as the best-selling American fiction author of the 1800s and one of the best-selling authors in world history. Alger’s books are thrilling page-turners with cliff-hanger endings that leave readers eager for the next chapter. While his books are hugely entertaining, Alger wrote with a serious purpose, believing that books have a profound influence on readers for good or ill. Alger creates stark contrasts between his heroes and villians. In the tradition of Benjamin Franklin, the heroes are ambitious, industrious, thrifty, honest, and temperate. In their struggle to survive and prosper in a free, competitive economy, they exhibit bravery, generosity, filial devotion, neatness, and a belief in the importance of education. They achieve success by deserving it. Not only young adults, but men, women, boys, and girls of all ages have been fascinated by Alger’s stories. Narrated and very slightly edited by Christopher Crennen. 
  Praise for Alger’s writing: “very readable and entertaining”, “startlingly modern style, simple and realistic”, “no juvenile books are more persistently read”, “thrilling episodes”, “causes the sympathetic tear”, “bright and lively”, “exciting and interesting”, “spirited adventures”, “stirring”. 
  Praise for Alger’s lessons: “full of inspiration to honesty and industry”, “virtue rewarded and evil punished”, “hard work, ambition, and high moral character”, “cheerfulness, honesty, and good deeds”, “self-reliance, self-discipline, decency”, “full of excellent lessons and helpful thoughts”, “impressive and wholesome”, “good practical advice”, “useful lessons”, “the right kind of story-telling”. 
  More praise for Alger’s books: “pure and simple”, “a delight”, “commendable”, “spirited and inspiring”, “most heartily recommend”, “admirable”, “excellent”, “phenomenal”, “swell”, “rattling good”, “bully”.

  What parents everywhere are saying ... 
  “My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.”  
  - Heather Schalk, Toddler Toolkit Podcast, Mother of 2 toddlers 
  “Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).” 
  “The stories are soothing, my toddlers love the illustrations, and this is now our must-have bedtime ritual. I can’t recommend this enough—it’s a total lifesaver for tired parents.”

  Children's Favorites - Volume II

  Presented here are four of the most popular children's books of all time: Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows," Margery Williams' "The Velveteen Rabbit" and Lewis Carroll's "The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Lookingglass."   First, Kenneth Grahame's classic "The Wind in the Willows," one of the most beloved and admired novels of children's literature. The story follows the adventures of the mild-mannered Mole and his friend Rat, who emerge from their winter's slumber to explore the Springtime world, encountering the sedate and businesslike Badger as well as the wild and impulsive Mr. Toad of Toad Hall, who cannot seem to avoid mishaps and run-ins with the police.   Next, Margery Williams Bianco's revered children's story of a stuffed rabbit who longs to be real, "The Velveteen Rabbit" has been one of the world's most beloved children's books for the past 100 years. Chosen as one of the "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children," this volume features illustrations by the original artist for the book, William Nicholson. Adapted over the years many times for stage, screen and television, The Velveteen Rabbit is a timeless tale of love, loss, friendship and what it means to triumph over adversity.   And finally, Lewis Carroll's classic duo of nonsense and imagination, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Lookingglass," books that were immediate sensations upon publication. Both books relate the story of Alice, a young girl who tumbles down a rabbit hole into a world filled with talking rabbits, grinning cats, mad hatters and vengeful queens and, in Book Two, her trip through a mirror into another, magical world. Long hailed as one of the greatest children's book series ever created, "Alice" has permeated the culture. The subject of dozens of adaptations, re-tellings, films and stage productions, here are two of the most treasured works of fiction in the English language.   Enjoy ALL FOUR of these classic children's nove

  The Journey to Find the Mermaid

  On a dark, wintry day, a young girl receives a mysterious letter from her ailing grandmother, pleading with her to visit. For the girl, the decision is simple—she has always loved the cozy beach cottage where her grandmother lives, far more than the city apartment she shares with her mother. The island where the cottage sits is steeped in magic and folklore, with stories as old and rich as the moss hanging from the trees. 
  Now, with her grandmother’s vision failing, there’s something important she wants to show her granddaughter—a mythical place whispered about by the locals. They call it the Harbor of Sirens, a hidden sanctuary where mermaids are said to gather each year to sing their haunting Winter Song. To the girl’s mother, it’s just a silly old tale, but the grandmother is certain of its existence. 
  With the help of an eccentric lighthouse keeper, the trio gathers supplies and embarks on their search. Along the way, the girl learns the full tale of the Harbor of Sirens and the legend of a fierce mermaid warrior—a princess who is said to have once walked upon the very islands they’re exploring. 
  Their journey is anything but easy. The old maps they follow are difficult to read, and the forest paths are perilous. Adding to the challenge is a strange storm that seems to twist and turn in step with their progress, as though something—or someone—is working to keep the harbor concealed. 
  But when the storm clears on the longest night of the year, the girl and her grandmother uncover a truth far more extraordinary than any storybook. As her grandmother always says: “Not all tales are make-believe, my dear. Some hold the memories of entire lifetimes.
