From "Patter-Paws the Fox" and "Sharp-Claws the Lobster" to "Lusty-Lion and Trusty Mouse," young children will find the animated animal characters in these stories enjoyable and inspiring. Along with lively, detailed, and expressive illustrations by Brian Gold, the narrative will stimulate the imagination of young children and encourage them to read. Created especially for early readers, the author has taken great care in crafting the structure and style of the stories. The language, letter patterns, progressions of word structures, and sound sequences have all been shaped to build children's confidence, gradually leading to more disciplined work later in the book. In addition to grading the stories according to these principles, the stories involve repetition, rhyming devices, and the use of common words that form the foundation of "sight vocabulary." The visual element has also been considered in the layout, with large typeface and small paragraphs, which become more condensed as reading ability becomes stronger. (Ages 6-9)
6 lectures and an essay, 1919-1920 (CW 297) World War I destroyed the structures, values, and self-confidence that created the seeming greatness of the nineteenth century. In its place stood ruins and the shards of a civilization. In response to this, Emil Molt--the director of the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Factory and a student of Rudolf Steiner--decided to establish a school to educate people who could create a new culture. Thus, the Waldorf school movement was begun. Rudolf Steiner agreed to act as the school's consultant, and his insights guided the school in accomplishing this ambitious task. The goal of this education was that, through living inner work guided by the insights of Rudolf Steiner, the teachers would develop in the children such power of thought, depth of feeling, and strength of will that they would emerge from their school years as full members of the human community, able to meet and transform the world. These lectures occurred around the opening of the first Waldorf school. They serve as an excellent, inspiring introduction to Waldorf education as a whole. Here Steiner outlines--with freshness, immediacy, and excitement--the goals and intentions of a new form of education and speaks to parents of prospective students. He explains the school's guiding principles and describes how parents must participate, with understanding and interest, in the awakening of their children's creative forces so that a healthier society can come about.

This book "takes us into the town, there to discover the colourfulness, humanity and natural life that thrives in a landscape of buses and telephones, spiders' webs and labradors, cafés and surgeries, parks and crumbs on window sills"--T.p. verso (author's note).
Having been given a magic gourd by a Chameleon for rescuing him from a thorny bush, hungry Rabbit appreciates the gesture of the never-ending bounty of food, but when a greedy king steals it away, Rabbit finds a way to get it back and teach him an important lesson in the process.
