Summary

In 'Uncle Wiggily's Adventures,' Howard Roger Garis invites readers into a charming world where anthropomorphic animals navigate whimsical escapades. This collection of tales follows the lovable rabbit Uncle Wiggily as he embarks on imaginative journeys filled with friendship, bravery, and moral lessons. Garis employs a playful narrative style interspersed with rhyme and rhythm, reflecting the early 20th-century trend of children'Äôs literature that emphasizes both entertainment and didacticism. The stories are set against a backdrop of a simple yet delightful setting, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times while addressing themes of kindness, perseverance, and community support. Howard Roger Garis, an American writer known for his prolific contributions to children's literature, was influenced by his background in newspaper writing and his experiences as a father. His ability to weave educational and entertaining narratives demonstrates his understanding of child psychology and the importance of imaginative play in childhood development. Garis'Äôs creation of Uncle Wiggily emerged during a time when stories were increasingly pivotal in shaping young minds, and his work became a staple in many households. I highly recommend 'Uncle Wiggily's Adventures' to parents and educators seeking engaging tales that promote valuable life lessons. These stories not only entertain but also cultivate a love for reading, making them an essential addition to any child's library. The blend of fantastical elements and relatable characters ensures that Uncle Wiggily's adventures will resonate with readers of all ages.

    Before he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897. Taking 16 beloved nursery rhymes, he explains their meaning and fascinating history. What is the true story of Little Boy Blue? Why was Mary contrary? 
As he says in the introduction, "Many of these nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be I have thought the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines. For that reason I have written this book." L. Frank BaumBefore he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897.

    A detailed chronicle of the career of the late 1800s trailblazing investigative reporter, Nellie Bly. A letter to the Editor of The Pittsburgh Dispatch turned into a position of journalist with the paper. She tackled tough societal issues, unheard of from woman in those days. However, the businesses she exposed threatened to pull advertising, so she was moved to cover topics deemed more appropriate for a woman. She ultimately became a freelance journalist and later moved to New York and worked as an investigative reporter for New York World, often going undercover, or as it was called then, being a "stunt reporter". She also reported on her 72-day trip around the world. The biography details her marriage to a business tycoon, her time as President of the company and her ultimate return to journalism. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Bly's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
