Eight Cousins (Eight Cousins #1)

Author: Alcott, Louisa MayPart of a Series: Eight Cousins

When Rose Campbell, a shy orphan, arrives at “The Aunt Hill” to live with her six aunts and seven boisterous male cousins, she is quite overwhelmed. How could such a delicate young lady, used to the quiet hallways of a girls’ boarding school, exist in such a spirited home? It is the arrival of Uncle Alec that changes everything. Much to the horror of her aunts, Rose’s forward-thinking uncle insists that the child get out of the parlor and into the sunshine. And with a little courage and lots of adventures with her mischievous but loving cousins, Rose begins to bloom.

Written by the beloved author of Little Women, Eight Cousins is a masterpiece of children’s literature. This endearing novel offers readers of all ages an inspiring story about growing up, making friends, and facing life with strength and kindness.

Pursuit of God, The

Author: Tozer, A.W.

Tozer identifies one of the major problems in our Church today. As a Church, we are creating a new breed of Christian who understands doctrine better than at any point in history yet fails to understand what it truly means to be a follower of Christ.
His book is an invitation for the the reader to seek God above all else. While many Christian writers invite the reader to seek God to the point of making a decision for Christ, Tozers encourages the Christian to make the seeking of God the continual foundation upon which their life is built on.

School of the Woods (Yesterday’s Classics)

Author: Long, William J.Part of a Series: Yesterday's Classics

Through vivid depictions of a dozen family groupings, the author demonstrates that mother animals and birds often train their young in order to supplement their natural instincts. The deer and her fawns, the black bear and her cubs, the fishhawk and her nestlings, the keen-eyed heron, the stupid porcupine, and the mighty moose are some of the animals whose teachings are described in this book.It’s easy to see human characteristics and derive moral lessons in each of the animals observed, making it a great choice for inspiration and guidance. The author takes some of the most ordinary creatures and invites the reader into their world of struggle and survival, play and communication. In the end he devotes a chapter to the process of death in probably the most beautiful way.

Little Brother to the Bear and Other Animal Stories (Masterpiece Collection)

Author: Long, William J.Part of a Series: Masterpiece Collection

Mooweesuk the Coon is called the bear’s little brother by both Indians and naturalists, because of the many ways in which he resembles the “big prowler in the black coat.” An absorbing chapter on the coon’s secret habits begins this volume, followed by stories about the woodcock, the wildcat, the toad, and many other animals. Two chapters remarkable for their keen insight into the hidden life of animals close this volume,─one on Animal Surgery, describing some of the ways in which wild animals treat their wounds; the other on Hunting without a Gun, showing the joy of following even the large and dangerous animals with the desire only to be near and understand them.

John Greenleaf Whittier: Selected Poems

Author: Whittier, John Greenleaf

A devout Quaker who became a passionate poetic spokesman for the antislavery movement, John Greenleaf Whittier (1807?92) was one of the most beloved American poets of his era. In the years before the Civil War, he campaigned tirelessly against slavery in poems that include ?Ichabod, ? his famous denunciation of Daniel Webster for his support of the Fugitive Slave Law. In the long poem ?Snow-Bound? (1866) he created a warm and enthralling portrait of rural life, while such works as ?Barbara Frietchie? and ?The Barefoot Boy? have been enduringly popular. This new selection brings together Whittier’s many aspects?political, religious, richly descriptive?and reaffirms the emotional honesty and depth of his work

Beware that some of the links are for other Whittier poetry books.

Poetry for Young People: Rudyard Kipling (Poetry for Young People)

Author: Kipling, RudyardPart of a Series: Poetry for Young People

“Twenty-eight poems (or parts of poems) reverberate with Kipling’s compassion for his fellow humans….introduction details the events of his life and their relationship to his work. With dedication to the structure, rhythm, and rhyme of his craft, Kipling created poetry that, when read aloud, sings to its audience in every phase. Sharpe’s exquisite paintings illustrate the exotic quality of the verse, whether of animals in the jungle or ships at sea. Vibrant colors reflect the strong emotions of each poem…The faces of children show humor, trust, curiosity, and moodiness. Familiar lines from ‘If’ and ‘The Ballad of East and West’ demonstrate the poet’s universal appeal. As in other books in this series, each poem is preceded by background information, and difficult or unfamiliar words are defined…A worthy addition.”–School Library Journal.
