Sinossi

In "The Adventures of Mr. Mocker," Thornton W. Burgess presents a whimsical yet astutely observed narrative that follows the escapades of Mr. Mocker, a clever mockingbird, as he navigates the intricate relationships of the forest community. Through vivid descriptions and playful dialogue, Burgess utilizes anthropomorphism to engage young readers while subtly imparting moral lessons about friendship, honesty, and the consequences of deceit. The book is emblematic of Burgess's characteristic style, blending gentle humor with environmental advocacy, reflecting the early 20th-century American ethos that embraced nature and its preservation. Thornton W. Burgess was a renowned naturalist and author who dedicated his life to introducing children to the wonders of wildlife. His passion for nature, coupled with his childhood experiences in rural Massachusetts, inspired him to create engaging narratives that both entertain and educate. This book, like many of his others, arises from his belief in fostering a sense of stewardship toward the environment'Äîa theme that resonates deeply within his body of work and addresses the importance of living harmoniously with nature. For readers seeking a delightful and enriching literary experience, "The Adventures of Mr. Mocker" is a perfect choice. Its enchanting storyline and valuable life lessons make it an essential addition to any child'Äôs library, instilling a love for both reading and the natural world.

Earnest Seaton: THE BIOGRAPHY OF...

Earnest Seaton

Wahb (meaning White Bear) is an orphaned Grizzly Bear who learns to respect his fears, fight for peace, and trust the healing powers of a stinky hot-spring. The story is aptly titled The Biography of a Grizzly because it is about the life of a Grizzly. Seton writes with a folksy tone that will enlighten children to the gore and war that Grizzly Bears endure. I thought it was fun to learn (through Wahb's story) about their life span, their diet, their ability to survive gunshots and bear-traps. Beautifully written, the author captures each moment in a way that you almost feel as though you're in the story. If a bear had the ability to write his story, in short, a legacy, this would surely be one that "bears" repeating

H H Bashford : Half Past Bedtime

H. Bedford

Ah, the wonderful adventures of Marian after she meets the strange Mr. Jugg. "And who are you, Mr Jugg?" she inquired. "I'm the King of the Bumpies," he replied. When Marian was puzzled there came a little straight line, exactly in the middle, between her two eyebrows. "What are bumpies?" she said. "My hat!" he gasped. "Haven't you ever heard of bumpies?" Marian shook her head. "Oh dear, oh dear!" he sighed. "Have you ever heard of angels?" "Well, of course," said Marian. "Everybody's heard of angels." "Well then, bumpies," said Mr Jugg, "are baby angels. They're called bumpies till they've learned to fly." "I see," said Marian, "but why are they called bumpies?" "Because they bump," said Mr Jugg, "not knowing how."

A Hitch in Time

Frederik Pohl

A Hitch in Time by Frederik Pohl - Young Thom Ra travels back to the hideous Venus-Earth war, and ventures peril to win lovely Elren Dri for his mate!
Obviously the man was dying, and there was no chance that he ever would be discovered.
I blessed the carelessness that had caused me to set the space-time dials a little off when I began this journey to the distant past. I had come to this barbaric era in the proper time, indeed, but millions of miles removed from it in space. It had been only after an annoying search that I had discovered Earth, jetted toward it in my space-drive suit and had come down out of the skies to land on this tiny, deserted island in the middle of an empty sea.
But it was incredible luck that had brought me there. For I had found exactly what I needed—a man who would give me information, clothing and an identity—and then die, and obliterate the record of my interference with the course of events!
I, Thom Ra, walked toward him. Feeble though he was, he opened his eyes and stared at me.
"Thank Heaven!" he whispered, in the thick, hideous language of that era. "I couldn't have lasted much longer if you hadn't found me." He fell back and smiled at me with heartfelt gratitude, and for a moment I felt a wild, fleeting impulse to help him, to save his life. But of course, I dared not interfere. For that would change the shape of the future, and that meant destruction for me....
When I blasted off from the island, a little later, he was dead, and I was wearing his uniform—and his name.
He gave me information before he died, and I had no trouble locating the spot I wanted. I waited till dark before landing a few hundred yards from the war-dome. Then I hid my space-drive suit in a cluster of ancient trees, and walked into the building that housed the most murderous weapon of all time.
