Pages : 130

Book Description
This is the optional - and less expensive - Black and White version of The Bad Kids Book of Poems, containing 32 humorous, rhyming poems and 105 accompanying cartoons about kids who do things they shouldn't do, like being reckless, selfish, gluttonous, foolish, disrespectful, malicious, impulsive, lazy, stupid, dishonest, disobedient, petulant, unkind, irresponsible, unhygienic, imprudent, etc., and the unfortunate but darkly humorous consequences of such behavior. Especially since some of the kids in the poems end up maimed or dead and on account of the dark humor (although none of the cartoons are gory or morally offensive), parents might want to consider whether this book is appropriate for their very young children, especially if they are under the age of about 7 or 8. The target audience is kids from about 8 to 98 years old. Here are a few of the shorter poems, so you can get an idea: Gossiping Gail - Gail liked to gossip Behind the others' backs; But this made some girls angry; One attacked her with an ax. Ricky the Unsafe Rider - Ricky used to ride his bike Without reflectors on; And now he rides a wheelchair, Since both his legs are gone.

L. Frank Baum

Author: Katharine M. Rogers
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429979844
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 342

Book Description
Since it was first introduced over a hundred years ago in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum's world of Oz has become one of the most enduring and beloved creations in children's literature. It has influenced numerous prominent writers and intellectuals, and become a lasting part of the culture itself. L. Frank Baum was born in 1856 in upstate New York, the seventh child of a very successful barrel-maker and later oil producer. However, Baum's own career path was a rocky one. Beginning as an actor, Baum tried working as a traveling salesman, the editor of a small town newspaper and the publisher of a trade journal on retailing, failing to distinguish himself in any occupation. His careers either failed to provide a sufficient living for his beloved wife Maud and their children or were so exhausting as to be debilitating. In the 1890's, L. Frank Baum took the advice of his mother-in-law, suffragist leader Matilda Gage, and turned his attention to trying to sell the stories he'd been telling to his sons and their friends. After a few children's books published with varying success, he published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900 and it quickly became a bestseller and has remained so ever since. In this first full-length adult biography of Baum, Rogers discusses some of the aspects that made his work unique and has likely contributed to Oz's long-lasting appeal, including Baum's early support of feminism and how it was reflected in his characters, his interest in Theosophy and how it took form in his books, and the celebration in his stories of traditional American values. Grounding his imaginative creations, particularly in his fourteen Oz books, in the reality of his day, Katharine M. Rogers explores the fascinating life and influences of America's greatest writer for children.
