Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of Approved Books for Boys and Girls A division has been made between books for older children and books for younger children. The latter division is intended for children under ten, though this is only approximate, since many of the younger children will read the books in the older list. The reference books are those which have been most helpful in assisting the children to get material on the subject in which they were interested. Authors are entered under the names most widely known, and when possible a choice of editions has been given. All the prices quoted are sub ject to change owing to war conditions. The price given is the retail price, and discount will be allowed at the usual library rates. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Books for Boys and Girls Approved by the Brooklyn Public Library for Use in Its Children's Rooms This is not a list of best books only. In making the selec tion the Compiler has included such titles as she believed would help in carrying out the purpose of the children's library, namely, that of being a nursery of good citizenship. In order to approach the attainment of this end it was necessary to make provision for attracting all classes of children, the untaught little ones of limited vocabulary and experience, as well as those from homes of culture. The compiler thus felt obliged to include a large number of titles which, in point of literary merit, are decidedly mediocre; but it is believed that nothing vicious or morally harmful will be found here, and that all have some distinct merit in helping us to carry out our aim. Those titles which the compiler considers so excellent that they should be selected first for any children's library, and duplicated as freely as possible, are indicated by a star. As there are frequent requests for easy books which the librarian finds it hard to supply, those in the list which can be read by children of the first three school years are designated by a c after their titles. None of the standard adult books have been included here, although a selection from the works of Scott, Dickens, the poets, etc., have been placed in each separate Children's room. A list of books which have been found practically useful for reference work with school children is added. These books are for the most part inexpensive, and the children can consult them more understandingly than the long sets in the reference room for adults. At the same time it is our constant aim to train the children, as they acquire a zest for research work, to use the main reference collection freely and independently. Lists intended for the children themselves and prepared with the view to attracting their interest will be printed by the later. Clara whitehill hunt, Superintendent J the Children '5 Department.

Jordan, Custodian of the Children's Room at the Central Library, is issued as an aid to young readers who are unable personally to use the open shelves. It has been arranged wholly for the convenience of such readers, and therefore varies in some respects from the established methods followed in other cata lognes of the Library.' The list includes authors, titles, and subjects in a single alphabetical arrangement. Authors are cited by the names best known, often at some sacrifice of uniformity in style. The subject headings are intended to meet the requirement of the schools, and also to cover, in some measure the range of children's interests. They are printed in a distinctive type.

Where the name of the author is marked you may know that he has written other good books, though we mention only one.

If you want more books on a particular subject, look for the subject in the card catalogue, or ask some one in the Library to help you. There are different kinds of books, as you know, - stories of athletics, of adventures at sea or among Indians, of ex ploits in war, books about famous people, books about animals, books on electricity, etc. To know and to like many kinds of reading will add much to your enjoyment; so, if you now like only one or two kinds, we hope this list may tempt you to venture a little beyond your favorites to find new friends.

The reading habit may be a menace rather than a blessing unless the books Which are read are sound and Wholesome in their tone and are written so as to develop good literary standards. The majority of parents are too much occupied to read books intended for children; the present list, therefore, is designed primarily to aid parents and other older people in selecting books for children, but it may also be used by the boys and girls themselves. This list is based upon one originally prepared by the following committee of the Boston Home and School Association: Edith Guerrier, Mrs. C. B. Perkins, Annie J. Reed, Katharine H. Shute, Alice M. Jordan. It has now been revised by the addition of some titles and the exclusion. Of others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroism: A Reading List for Boys and Girls It has been the aim of the compilers to include those characters, ancient and mod ern, whose names are commonly associated with heroic effort and achievement and concerning whose lives there exists litera ture in biographical, historical, legend ary, or story form of genuine interest to boys and girls of High School age and younger. The list is by no means complete. The omission of certain characters may be accounted for by the absence of literature attractive to boys and girls. The annotations are interpretative rather than critical or informational and include some of the selections used in the exhibit held in 1913. The quotations then used were of sufficient interest to visitors to lead to requests for the inclusion of them in a printed list of the books.

The articles range from essays to transcripts of interviews and speeches and a filmography. The book presents new research on films and plays based on Burnett books. The primary organization of the essays is chronological, but the book is also arranged to reflect the structure of the 'Frances Hodgson Burnett: Beyond the Secret Garden Conference, ' held at California State University, Fresno, April 25-27, 2003

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children's Books for Christmas Gifts: Recommended by the Louisville Free Public Library The order of arrangement of the groups of books in this list is according to the demand as it arises in the home. First the picture books; then the easy stories to be read aloud; then the myths, folklore and fairy tales which are rightfully in great demand from the kindergarten to the grammar grades. Bible stories are included at this habit forming time. Because books have power to affect the soul of a child the aim has been to include only such books as awaken the interest, stir the imagination, broaden the horizon and generally aid in character building. For the boys and girls who have not acquired the reading habit a few titles are suggested because of their popular appeal and their wholesomeness in spirit rather than their literary worth alone. There are some books which contain much of pleasure and profit but which can not well be used by children without the aid of their elders. A short list of these is included under the heading Books for grown-ups to use with children. Most of the books in this list are of moderate price, but a few old favorites in handsome editions are included in the hope that parents will buy at least one or two of the really beautiful books which every child should own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Long Look House: A Book for Boys and Girls Another of the sounds that reach Long Look comes from the freight yard of the great railway beyond both river and meadow. There, where the lay of the land gives a chance for it, the two tracks are split up into twenty or thereabouts, and there, by means of other tracks connecting with other roads that enter the city, freight trains are made up or broken up as the case may be. In the day time, when many noises are abroad in the air, and the railway is busiest with bringing passenger trains, there is little or no disturb ance from this source; but at night, when all the rest of the world is still, Max is sometimes awakened by the screeching locomotives and the heavy rumble of freight cars, sounding forth upon the empty air. He listens attentively to the whistles - one for down brakes, two for up brakes, three for take out the pin; and, as he listens, pictures to himself the train stepping, the train moving on, or the train breaking in two as it makes a running switch, until he gets tired of the noise beyond endurance, and falls asleep.
