Excerpt from Three Little Kittens, Chicken Little As to the classic basis, certainly a vocabulary may be evolved as well from The Three Bears, for example, as from cats and dogs. For can not a child as well in the beginning say, I see a bear as I see a cat? And can he not build up day by day from the bear as well as from the cat? Then, too, these tales are pedagogical to the primer grade. Every first grade or kindergarten teacher knows the delight with which little children listen as she reads them; hence that first of all elements - interest is fully satisfied in these tales. Again we find in these classic tales a second pedagogical principle that of action; for in these olden tales most rapid and vigorous activity predominate. A third principle, too, is in evidence - that of repetition; and a child loves the rhythm of repetition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Alo Man: Stories From the Congo In Central Africa, supper time is about Six o'clock all the year round. From one season to another, night and day are nearly equal and the time of sunrise and of sunset changes hardly more than fifteen minutes throughout the year. The year begins with the first heavy rain of the wet season, and when the new green shoots come out on the spurge thickets the people know that the new year is at hand. The evening meal is the most important oneof the day, sometimes the only regular meal. Soon after sunrise on this particular day the women, as usual, had picked up their hoes, their baskets, and their babies and 'had gone out to work on the farms outside the village. They had come back in the middle of the afternoon to begin preparing supper, which was a matter of some hours' work, because there were so many different things to he done. Grain for bread or mush had to be ground on heavy stone slabs, vegetables must be made ready for cooking, water. Fetched from the spring, wood brought, and fires made. Mpoko and Nkunda had helped a little, and they knew where, in a heap of hot ashes, the sweet potatoes from their own corner of the field were baking. There would be boiled fowl and cassava bread, and maybe some stewed fruit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Legends of Norseland

Excerpt from Francisco Pizarro: The Conquest of Peru Pizarro's father, who was a soldier full of daring, but of very little moral worth, seems to have bequeathed his son nothing but his name and his bold spirit.
