Download or read book The Snowy Day written by Ezra Jack Keats and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly
Download or read book Library Lion written by Michelle Knudsen and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A reminder that sometimes, there is a good reason to break the rules. . . .This winsome pairing of text and illustration is a natural for storytime." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (starred review) (Ages 4-7) Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story, illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.

Book excerpt: In the vein of Lebowitz's acclaimed Netflix limited series, Pretend It's a City—The Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together two of the famed author's bestsellers, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies. In "elegant, finely honed prose" (The Washington Post Book World), Lebowitz limns the vicissitudes of contemporary urban life—its fads, trends, crazes, morals, and fashions. By turns ironic, facetious, deadpan, sarcastic, wry, wisecracking, and waggish, Fran Lebowitz is always wickedly entertaining.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New York Public Library: Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations This volume completes this series of Tales for the People and their Children. It is a work which has grown in interest as it has proceeded, and I now see my task completed almost with regret. The scope which it embraces is a wide one, and the farther I hare gone, the more it has opened before me; the lessons of human life and experience are inexhaustible, and hence it is my intention to continue this class of stories at some future time. It is but justice to say, that of the thirteen stories of which this series is composed, two wore written by my husband at a time when I was otherwise unavoidably occupied; nor must I take my leave of the work without expressing my deep gratitude to the excellent projector and publisher of it for his handsome and friendly behaviour throughout this, our literary connection, and still more for his kindness and thoughtful consideration at a time of severe domestic affliction. To the public, both at home and in America, who have received these books with distinguished favour, I now, as far as regards this series, bid adieu.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the New York Public Library, Vol. 24: Astor, Lenon and Tilden Foundations, January to December, 1920 At some time, probably when Dr. Cogswell, first librarian of what John Hill Burton calls "the Astorian," was in Europe "with his princely endowment in his pocket," the Astor Library acquired a set of British Army Lists, beginning with the year 1755 and ending in 1842. The first of them has a title-page reading, in part, "A List of the General and Field-Officers, as they Rank in the Army. A List of the Officers in the Several Regiments of Horse, Dragoons, and Foot, c, on the British and Irish Establishments: with the Dates of their Commissions, as they Rank in each Corps. The Whole to August 1755. London: Printed for J. Millan, opposite the Admiralty-Office. (Price Three Shillings.)" It is a book of 126 pages, and about 20 cm. in height. By 1842 the title was somewhat less formidable: "A List of the Officers of the Army and Royal Marines, on Full, Retired, and Half-Pay: with an Index.1842. By Authority: London: Printed by W. Clowes Sons, etc." But the size of the volume had increased to 639 pages, and the height to 31 cm. The set is handsomely bound in red morocco (in the style shown in the plate opposite page 4) with the earlier and smaller volumes set in cases so as to produce a set of uniform height. These books had been the property of William IV, King of Great Britain and Ireland, and of one or another of his sons, the Earl of Munster, or Colonel Fitz Clarence, and bear the bookplates of one, or more, of these personages. The Royal bookplate is that of the King when he was Duke of Clarence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
