Sinopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The life of L. Frank Baum, the father of Oz, a fall from success to disaster


Originally published in 1911, "The Sea Fairies" is a children's fantasy novel written by American author L. Frank Baum. Baum is best known for his children's books, particularly “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” and its sequels.
As an underwater fantasy, Baum's "The Sea Fairies" can be classed with earlier books with similar themes, like Charles Kingsley's "The Water-Babies", and successors too, like E. Nesbit's "Wet Magic".

"The Sea Fairies" chronicles the adventures of Mayre "Trot" Griffiths, a small girl living on the coast of California, and her close friend and companion Cap'n Bill, formerly her father's employer and now a retired seaman with a wooden leg. As they walk along the beach one day, Trot wishes that she could see a mermaid. Nearby mermaids overhear her, and grant her wish, appearing to her and the Cap'n the next day. The mermaids explain that they are "sea fairies," and offer the girl a chance to experience their world. Trot is eager to go; Bill is not, but is too loyal to let Trot go by herself. Magically transformed, the two embark on an underwater adventure.

"The Sea Fairies" was followed by a successful sequel published the following year, "Sky Island." Both books were intended as parts of a projected long-running fantasy series to replace the Oz books.

    Did you know that you have a little bit of dinosaur in you? 
    And it’s your brother’s fault. That egg fight meant there were only two eggs left and one of them had a carbon atom that used to be in the bones of a Spinosaurus. 
    This humorous story follows a carbon atom as it journeys from dry bones to your spinal column – and beyond! 
    Book 1, A Little Bit of Dinosaur has quickly become a beloved book. It received a starred Kirkus review and has had over 2 million reads on the EPIC! app. A Little Bit of THIS Dinosaur continues the playful humor around the amazing circle of life—or the conservation of mass—and adds a touch of empathy. 
    Sisters Elleen Hutcheson and Darcy Pattison team up to bring the circle of life to kids. Each is shaking her finger at their mother wondering why she fed them those scrambled eggs.
