Sinopse

In "The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat," Thornton W. Burgess crafts a charming narrative that unfolds in the idyllic setting of the Green Meadow and the Great Marsh. Through vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, Burgess immerses readers in a world teeming with anthropomorphized wildlife, where themes of friendship, cooperation, and the quest for understanding permeate the text. The literary style juxtaposes playful storytelling with valuable moral lessons, echoing the turn-of-the-century trend toward conservation and a burgeoning interest in environmental awareness. This book, like many of Burgess's works, reinforces the connection between humans and nature, subtly drawing attention to the delicate balance of ecosystems through the exploits of its lovable protagonist, Jerry Muskrat. Thornton W. Burgess, an eminent American author and conservationist, dedicated his life to educating young audiences about nature and wildlife preservation. His experiences as a naturalist and his deep love for animals profoundly influenced his stories. Founding the Campaign for the Protection of Animals, Burgess blended entertainment with education, providing young readers pathways to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world. With its endearing characters and engaging narratives, "The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat" is highly recommended for readers of all ages. It serves as both an entertaining tale and an educational resource, fostering a love for nature and encouraging environmental stewardship. This book is a delightful entry point for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and natural science.

    "Hey Diddle Diddle, the Cat and the Fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon! The little dog laughed to see such sport and the dish ran off with the spoon." Perhaps you think this verse is all nonsense, and that the things it mentions could never have happened; but they did happen, as you will understand when Frank Baum has explained them all to you clearly. 
    Little Bobby was the only son of a small farmer who lived out of town upon a country road. Bobby's mother looked after the house and Bobby's father took care of the farm, and Bobby himself, who was not very big, helped them both as much as he was able. 
    It was lonely upon the farm, especially when his father and mother were both busy at work, but the boy had one way to amuse himself that served to pass many an hour when he would not otherwise have known what to do. He was very fond of music, and his father one day brought him from the town a small fiddle, or violin, which he soon learned to play upon. I don't suppose he was a very fine musician, but the tunes he played pleased himself, as well as his father and mother, and Bobby's fiddle soon became his constant companion. To find out how the cow and the cat and the moon became involved, you will need to listen to this delightful talk and be much the wiser.

A spell that causes Michael to get younger and younger and younger. . . .

    Entertaining, thought-provoking depictions of classic Bible stories Renowned mythologist Bernard Evslin finds a powerful balance of tradition and modernity in his strongly realized retellings of Old Testament stories. His rendition reflects the literary style of the King James Bible and stays true to the Old Testament worldview and spirit—but also uses streamlined descriptions and dialogue, to balance the archaic language that can deter contemporary readers. Here you’ll find fresh versions of the iconic stories of Adam and Eve; Lot’s daughters; Jacob’s ladder; David and Goliath; Rebecca at the well; the twin brothers Jacob and Esau; and more, in a style that engages both the senses and the imagination.

    Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, 
    Eating a Christmas pie; 
    He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum 
    And said, "What a good boy am I!" 
    LITTLE JACK HORNER lived in an old, tumble-down house at the edge of a big wood; and there many generations of Horners had lived before him, and had earned their living by chopping wood. Jack's father and mother were both dead, and he lived with his grandfather and grandmother, who took great pains to teach him all that a boy should know. 
    They lived very comfortably and happily together until one day a great tree fell upon Grandpa Horner and crushed his legs; and from that time on he could not work at all, but had to be nursed and tended very carefully. 
    This calamity was a great affliction to the Horners. Grandma Horner had a little money saved up in an old broken teapot that she kept in the cupboard, but that would not last them a great time, and when it was gone they would have nothing with which to buy food. But little Jack was a brave and hard working little lad who tried as best he could to help his grandparents earn a few pennies for food. Then, he rescued a stranger in a bog and their fortunes took a turn for the better. But you had best listen to the whole story to see why Jack had such a plum pie to eat that Christmas day!
