Category : Juvenile Fiction

Book Description
This book is for all little boys and girls who love animals. BUSTER THE BEAR is brave and fearless in danger, and so lovable that you won’t lay down this book without saying wistfully, “I almost wish I had him really and truly as a friend and not just a story-book acquaintance.” This, of course, is a splendid wish; but none of us could afford to have a big brown bear as a friend and living in their house, for that is just what you would have to do if you went outside of the books. So we will leave them just where they are—in the books—and read about them, and let our imaginations take us to him where we can see them playing, skipping, singing, and sometimes fighting, and if we read very carefully, and think as we go along, we may come to know them even better than if we went out hunting for them. In the meantime, come out into the woods with me, and let us listen and watch, and I promise you it will be worthwhile. The stories and adventures of Buster in this volume are: I When Buster Was a Cub II Buster and Loup III How Buster Got Out of the River IV Buster is Carried Away by the Men V How Buster Was Stolen VI Buster’s Cruel Masters VII Buster Makes His Escape VIII Buster’s First Public Appearance IX Buster Saves Chiquita X Buster Becomes a Trick Bear XI Buster In a Railroad Wreck XII Buster Meets the Little Girl Again XIII Buster and the Little Girl XIV Buster Tries to Escape and is Discovered XV Buster is to be Sent to the Zoo XVI Buster Returns to the North Woods This volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then their quality.

Letters from Rifka
Author: Karen Hesse
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312535612
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
“America,” the girl repeated. “What will you do there?” I was silent for a little time. “I will do everything there,” I answered. Rifka knows nothing about America when she flees from Russia with her family in 1919. But she dreams she will at last be safe from the Russian soldiers and their harsh treatment of the Jews in the new country. Throughout her journey, Rifka carries with her a cherished volume of poetry by Alexander Pushkin. In it, she records her observations and experiences in the form of letters to her beloved cousin she has left behind. Strong-hearted and determined, Rifka must endure a great deal: humiliating examinations by doctors and soldiers, deadly typhus, separation from all she has ever known and loved, murderous storms at sea—and as if this is not enough, the loss of her glorious golden hair. And even if she does make it to America, she’s not sure America will have her.

Phoenix Rising
Author: Karen Hesse
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company (BYR)
ISBN: 1466801336
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Nyle's life with her grandmother on their Vermont sheep farm advances rhythmically through the seasons until the night of the accident at the Cookshire nuclear power plant. Without warning, Nyle's modest world fills with protective masks, evacuations, contaminated food, disruptions, and mistrust. Nyle adjusts to the changes. As long as the fallout continues blowing to the East, Nyle, Gran, and the farm can go on. But into this uncertain haven stumble Ezra Trent and his mother, "refugees" from the heart of the accident, who take temporary shelter in the back bedroom of Nyle's house. The back bedroom is the dying room: It took her mother when Nyle was six; it stole away her grandfather just two years ago. Now Ezra is back there and Nyle doesn't want to open her heart to him. Too many times she's let people in, only to have them desert her. Karen Hesse's voice and vision are grounded in truth; she takes on a nearly unharnessable subject, contains it, and makes it resonate with honesty. Part love story, part coming of age, Phoenix Rising is a tour de force by a gifted writer.

The Bear Doesn't Know
Author: Paul Schullery
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496229320
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
In The Bear Doesn't Know, Paul Schullery--honored naturalist, storyteller, and former Yellowstone ranger--has given us a bear-lover's book of wonders. It is rich in the joy, beauty, inspiration, and pure fun to be had during a life well lived in bear country. While exploring the cultural complications of an animal we have long both feared and adored, he chronicles the bumpy course of our coming to terms with the mysteries of bear ecology and behavior. Schullery brings to the matter of bears a long view--of our centuries-long and always-evolving perception of wild bears, of the scientific exploration of bear ecology and behavior, and of the sometimes bitter struggles to protect bear populations for the future. Featuring Schullery's trademark gifts for historical inquiry and scientific translation, as well as for mixing humor with telling insight, Schullery enlivens The Bear Doesn't Know with many of his own quirky tales of life in the wildlands of North America and in the obscure realms of bear folklore and literature. North America's bears have become universally recognized symbols of wild landscapes and the struggles to preserve them. In this collection, Schullery illuminates and celebrates the bears and their world, making plain why they always have and always will matter so much to us.
