Book Description
(From the forward) We are confronted by demands for social reconstruction. These pose grave problems with far-reaching implications. This books is written with the conviction that their solution must be looked for along lines not yet considered. Its aim is to show what has to be done in order that social demands coming from a larger part of mankind may be turned in the direction of conscious social purpose. Welcome or unwelcome, the facts of social life are present and must be reckoned with. Those who may object to the author's way of discussing proletarian demands should bear this in mind. He wants to present life as it really is. He is aware of the fatal consequences that will result if people refused to look at the facts. These facts have arisen out of the life of modern mankind.

Pages : 90

Book Description
Summer is almost over and Tom Nutcracker is soon to go to school. But deep in the forest on his father's farm two gnomes called Pine Cone and Pepper Pot are worried. What if the school does not teach Tom his letters properly? What if the teacher messes the alphabet up? Then Tom might spell the Pine Cone as NEPI NOEC, or Pepper Pot as PREPREP TOP. He might even spell the famous Tiptoes Lightly as TOESPIT THIGLLY. That would be a disaster. A huge disaster! So the two gnomes, with the help of Tiptoes Lightly and Farmer John, set out to teach Tom his letters. Tom's younger sister, June Berry, insists on being taught too, and never will they, or anyone else who reads this tale, forget their ABC's - or their LMNOP's or QRST's either. Whether your child knows their alphabet or not Pine Cone and Pepper Pot guarantee that they will see the letters and their shapes with new and creative eyes. The Alphabet is filled with stories, songs, pictures, plays and adventures silly and bold. The Alphabet is a large format, full color book, suitable for children from late kindergarten to grade three - and for teachers or homeschoolers seeking to enrich the art of learning to write. PS - the humorous use of the word 'learned' instead of 'taught' in the subtitle, while colloquial, is correct. It dates from circa 1300 and extends into our times. I am in the learned company of Shakespeare, Disraeli, Wodehouse et al. in its use. :)

Book Description
Here is a delightful tory of a little boy, Xavier, who has a song for every letter of the alphabet. After telling a story for each letter a mother or a teacher can then sing a little song. Music has been identified as a wonderful way to help children to remember the sounds and shapes of letters. Mary Lynn Channer tells a story about Adam for the letter "A" to give the reader an idea of how simple and lovely a little story can be for the letters. The end result is a child who feels the letters are her friends, too, and worth remembering as friends to help with reading as the skills for that develop. Beauty and truthful sounding are what make the songs so sweet and memorable. All the illustrations are simple and to the point of remembering the letters! Links to recordings of the song are included in the book so that the parent or teacher can remember the songs to sing them to their children. In our busy, fast-moving world, this book promises a journey to a very childlike place where a child can understand, remember, and sing into life the letters we use to say good things to each other, to tell good stories to each other!
