Presented in its entirety for the first time in over eighty years, this edition of Amy Mack's Bushland Stories features eighteen delightful tales that are sure to thrill both adults and children alike. Without being 'preachy', each tale, whether it be about a sprig of holly learning to be humble or an owl learning to be kind at Christmas, illustrates a truth from which we can all learn. This book is probably best described as a non-religious Parables of Nature. Whether familiar with Australian flora and fauna or not, this collection will be a pleasure to read and share.
Books in the Life of a Child explores the value of books and reading in the stimulation of children's imagination and their fundamental importance in the development of language and true literacy. It examines not only the vast range of children's books available but also how to introduce young people to the joys of reading in the home, the school and in the community. The book has been written as a resource for all adults, especially teachers, student teachers, librarians and parents, and those who care about the value of literature for children. It is a comprehensive and critical guide, with chapters on the history of children's literature and an analysis of its many forms and genres, from poetry, fairytale, myth, legend and fantasy, through realistic and historical fiction, to humour, pulp fiction and information books.
Vols. for 1898-1968 include a directory of publishers.
