This is the COW
with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt,
That lay in the house
that =Jack built.
This is the MAIDEN all forlorn,
That milked the cow
with the crumpled horn,
That tossed the dog,
That worried the cat,
That killed the rat,
That ate the malt,
That lay in the house
that =Jack built.



splash, I flop,  
I tread, I hop, 
My arms go in a spin
My legs are kicking up and down
Then, suddenly I swim.
=Monkey =Monkey =Moo!
Shall we buy a few?
Yellow monkeys,  
Purple monkeys,  
Monkeys red and blue.  

Be a monkey, do!
Who's a monkey, who?
He's a monkey,
She's  a monkey,
You're a monkey, too!




A dozen machines
come roaring down,
tractors and shovels, 
hydraulics and dumps,
mixers and graders, 
diggers and pumps, 
pushing and groaning
and moving the road to another
place in town.


Five =Little =Monkeys
Swinging from a tree;
Teasing =Uncle =Crocodile,
Merry as can be.
Swinging high, swinging low, 
Swinging left and right:
Dear =Uncle =Crocodile,
Come and take a bite!
Four little monkeys
Sitting in a tree
Heads down, tails down,
Dreary as can be.
Weeping loud, weeping low,
Crying to each other:
Wicked Uncle =Crocodile,
To gobble up our brother! 



No, =Jimmy,  says the teacher.
 You cannot call your mother. 
 Then I will call my father,  says =Jimmy.
 No, =Jimmy,  says the teacher,
 You cannot call your father. 
 Then I will call my grandmother, 
says =Jimmy.
 No, =Jimmy,  says the teacher.
 You cannot call your grandmother.
This is your dog.
You must learn to take care of him. 
=Jimmy asks,
 What can I do?
Dog does not mind me. 
 He will, =Jimmy,  says the teacher.
 Dog will mind you if you
     mean what you say. 
Very well,  says =Jimmy.
 I will try. 
=Jimmy looks at =Dog.
He says,
 Go home, =Dog!
Go home!
School is not for =Dogs! 
But =Dog does not go home.
He barks and licks =Jimmy's face.
Tell him again, =Jimmy! the children say.
Look him in the eye and tell him again.


But, now,
look at the light
of the flashlight
in the daytime.
The light | cannot | be seen
from far away.
Do you know why?

Our nearest star, the sun,
is so bright
that it keeps us
from seeing the light
of the flashlight
in the daytime.      
The sun's brightness
also keeps us
from seeing the light
of other stars
in the daytime.



It is schooltime again.
=Jimmy says,
 =Goodbye, =Mother.
Goodbye, =Father.
Goodbye, Dog.
I am going to school. 
=Jimmy walks to school.
Dog follows him.
The children say,
 Here comes =Jimmy!
Here comes =Jimmy's dog!
Hello, =Jimmy!
Hello, =Dog! 
The children run and play,
and =Dog runs after them.
The teacher comes to the playground.
She says,
 It is time for school, children.
It is time to come in. 
The children run into the school.
=Dog runs after them.



Jimmy telephones his mother.
The telephone rings and rings.
Mother is not home.
So =Jimmy telephones his father.
 Hello, =Father.
This is =Jimmy.
=Dog followed me to school. 
 Again?  asks =Father.
 Yes, again,  says =Jimmy.
 Will you come get him? 
 Now?  asks =Father.
 Yes, now,  says =Jimmy.
 He's barking at =Teacher. 
 Very well,  says =Father.
 I will come at once. 
=Father comes to school in his big car.
=Dog is happy to see =Father.
He jumps into the car and licks his face.
He barks and barks, all the way home.

 I want to play circus,  said =Jack.
 Do you want to play circus
with me, =Susan? 

 =Oh, yes!  said =Susan.
 We can all do something funny. 

 =You can do something funny, 
said =Jack.
 I want to run the circus. 



=Then =Jack ran up to =Betsy.
 I can't find your dime,  he said.
 I have looked all around here. 

=Tommy looked down at the street.
How he wanted that dime!
He wanted a new ball.
He wanted a pony ride.
He wanted candy.
But the dime was =Betsy's.

 Here, =Betsy,  said =Tommy.
 Here is your dime. 



=Anne's dog ran after her.
 Go home, =Pogo,  said =Anne.
 It's no use for you to look
at =Bobby's lunch like that.
This is =Bobby's lunch,
and you can't have it.
Go home, now! 

But =Pogo did not go home.
He went to school with =Anne.



 Oh me, oh my!  said =Peggy.
 Do you think =I will have enough money
to get a big surprise for =Mother? 
 Not with that!  said =Will.
 But I have some money, =Peggy.
I will help you get a big surprise. 

 I don't want help,  said =Peggy.
 I want to get something all by myself. 

 Come on,  said =Carol.
 We will go with you to help you look. 



Now =Peggy was afraid.
 Help!  she called.  Will, help me! 

Will ran and pulled =Peggy
out of the way of the fire.
=Peggy, are you all right?  he said.

 Yes,  said =Peggy.
 But it's a good thing =I was wrong
when I said you were afraid! 

 You were not wrong!  said =Will.
 Peggy, there are some things
it is good to be afraid of.
And a good, big fire is one of them! 



One little =Indian went on working.
He put some more paint
where the kitten had jumped.
He painted a big red pony
and two yellow birds.
Then he went to work on the stick.

After he sawed it in two,
he went to get =Tommy's stick.
Then he was ready to put up the tent.




When =Davy came back,
Mr =Wills did not look happy at all.
 I looked and looked,  he said.
 But I could not find the old toys
that we used to have around here.
This pogo stick was all there was.
You may have it
if you think it will help. 

 Oh boy, a pogo stick!  said =Davy.
 Thank you, Mr =Wills, thank you! 


Just then =Candy's mother
called them to come and eat.
 First I have to give the prize
for the best loser,  said =Candy.

 Oh!  thought =Nancy =May.
 Maybe I will get a prize after all!
No one lost as much as I did! 
But =Candy was not looking at her.
 I am looking for a happy loser, 
said =Candy.

 A happy loser?  said =Nancy =May.
 Is that what you call a good loser? 
Then =Nancy =May laughed.
 Yes, I guess it is!  she said.
 And I guess I will have to learn
how to be one.
Then maybe I will win a prize
the next time!

The next day the pine tree said,
Gold leaves are not for me.
But I would be very happy
if I could have leaves of colored
So the fairy gave the pine tree
leaves of colored glass.
And then the tree was happy.

But by and by the rain came.
With the rain came the wind.
Oh, how the wind did blow !
One by one the pretty leaves
of glass were broken
All of them were broken.
Not one stayed on the tree!


A big highway ran by =Dick =Wills's 
farm. It ran uphill and downhill all
the way to =Green =Hills.
=Dick had a stand by the roadway. 
There people could buy eggs, flowers,
and other things they liked.
Over his stand =Dick had a big horseshoe
to get people to stop and look and buy !



The wind was blowing.
It was blowing their red candy
all over them.
But what a good time they had!

All the time the wheel
was going around.
It took them high, high up.
It took them down.
It took them around three times.
And at last the ride was over.


=Dick saw his father.
 We are going fishing,  he called.
Mr =Wills looked at the basket.
 If you have lots to eat,
I will go, too,  he said.
I like to fish. And I like to eat! 
Just then =Pat said,  I see
some cars coming up the road.
The last one is ours.
=Mother and =Father are here ! 



How to Make Friends
=Penny and =Pat are twins.
What one does, the other does.
=Pat had a ride on a pig.
Now =Penny wants a ride.
But she does not want
a ride on a pig.

One morning =Dick and the twins
saw Mr =Wills coming up the road.
Here comes =Father
with our best-work horse,  said =Dick.
=OldJoe is a good horse to ride. 



=Happy =Joe called after them,
=Littleclown! =Littleclown!
What do you have in your hat? 
The little clown called, 
You will be surprised. 
He made his horse dance
all around.

Then =Happy =Joe saw a monkey
in a little red coat.
He called,  =Littlemonkey !
Help me get that big, big hat. 



Mr =Bear said,
You are a good friend.
Here is a  can  of green paint.
We will put a new coat 
of paint on my house. 

They went to work.

After a time, Mr =Bear said,
Now my house has a new spring coat.
But look at the door! 
said =Little =Brown =Bear.
Please, may I paint the door? 
Yes, you may,  said Mr =Bear.


I see a clown, said =Ted. 
What a long nose he has!
He looks like a happy clown. 
He is in the circus,  said the man.
He is called =HappyJoe.

=Ted asked,
Is the balloon your surprise? 
No,  said the man.
The surprise is in this box.
Do not look !

Do you see a chimp?  said Mr =Green.
Not one chimp,  said Mr =Kanda.
The chimps are not here. 
We will go on,  said Mr =Green.
We will look for a chimp. 
What will you do with a chimp? 
     said Mr =Kanda.
The chimp and =I will go away, 
     said Mr =Green.
Then the chimp will go to the moon.
It will see what it is like
on the moon. 



The little =Chimp

I will look for Mr =Kanda

I can see Mr =Kanda come, 
said Mr =Green.
Mr =Green looked.
Then he did not look.
What was that?

It looked at Mr =Green
=It was a little chimp!
Mr =Green did not see the chimp.

=Then the chimp went up to Mr =Green.
She jumped on Mr =Green.
She liked what she saw.
She looked at it.
Then she ran away with it.
Mr =Green did not see
the little chimp run away.


I will be a friend to the chimp,

She and =I will go away.
Then she will go to the moon. 
 Come here, chimp,  said Mr =Kanda.
 Here, little chimp,~ said Mr =Green.
 We will be friends. 
 =Heen, =hon, =hoon!  went the chimp.
She did not come.


Mr =Green looked at the little chimp.
You will go to the moon, chimp,  he said.
 You will be =Moonbeam, the moon chimp!

She liked Mr =Green and Mr =Kanda.
Away Went =Moonbeam

Come on, =Moonbeam,  said Mr =Kanda.
 We will have to go. 
=Moonbeam looked at her friends.
Then she jumped up.


This is =Scott.
=Scott works at the rocket port.
=Scott will not go to the moon.
He will help the men to go.
 This is the day, =Joe,  said =Scott
This is the day the chimp  comes
I will go to get her now

Can I go with you? said =Joe.
Come on!  said =Scott.

The men looked up and down.
They looked and looked.
They did not find =Moonbeam.
Where was =Moonbeam?
Men looked out.
 What is this?  they said.
 We want to go on. 
 We have to find =Moonbeam,
the chimp,  said Mr =Green.
 Then we can go. 


Look, =Moonbeam!  said =Scott.
This is the rocket port.
You will like it here at the port. 
=Moonbeam looked up and down
the rocket port.
Here we are,  said =Scott.
He jumped out with =Moonbeam.
=Joe jumped out, too.
See you soon, =Moonbeam,  he said.

=Scott and =Moonbeam went in.
Here is Dr =Jim,  said =Scott.

Then she jumped away.

might share his fear, but after a moment the panic
feeling passed. They could do nothing and would
only become terrified. It was up to him alone to
keep the leopards at a safe distance from the cart.
The tiny flame in the lantern made one
last fluttering struggle and went out.
Black darkness shut down over the cart.
=Rodmika could hear the swish of the grass
as the leopards made their short quick
charges through it. Sooner or later, he
feared, one of them would find the courage to leap
upon the cart. He considered cutting the chicken
coop loose. In it were five fine, white leghorn hens
and a rooster that a neighbor had given his mother.
He decided against it, but still, he thought, it would
be better to lose the chickens than have the cats
spring upon the cart.
Another lamp was packed among their possessions.
He didn't know where to find it, but cautiously
thrusting his arm here and there among their
provisions, he began to search. He found only their
supplies. Disgusted, he drew his hand away smeared
with buffalo butter.
An angry snarl came to him from just beyond one
wheel. The bullock on that side snorted in fear and
veered away. The other wheel went into the ditch.
=Rodmika hauled hard on the line to bring the cart
back onto the road just in time to prevent it from
overturning.



Several times =Dino's family had saved enough to
buy two of =Gian-Carlo's legs, and once they had
enough for three legs. Then, each time they had
needed the money for other things. Each time that
the money had been spent =Dino was afraid  
someone else would buy all four legs of =Gian-Carlo before
they ever could, for =Enrico wanted to sell him.
Down, down, through farmyards and olive
orchards, down long flights of steps they wound.
When they reached the narrow stone-paved streets
of the town where cars honked and motor scooters
hooted, =Dino's heart leaped with excitement.
By this time they knew that the sun would not
shine that day. The sea was an angry green. It
snarled in white foam along the rocky headlands.
It burst in upon the fishermen's beach. And before
they ate their bread at noonday, they knew that
they would not sell many pots. Even if tomorrow
was =Christ's =Birthday and =Papa was the finest
painter in all =Italy, no one would buy their wares.



the wonderful quality that they became invisible to
anyone who was unfit for the office he held, or was
hopelessly stupid.
Those would be just the clothes for me!  the
=Emperor thought.  If I wore those, I should be
able to find out what men in my empire are not
fit for the positions they hold. I could tell the clever
from the stupid. Yes, I must have them weave
some of the stuff for me at once! 
And he gave the two rogues a great deal of money
in hand, that they might begin work at once.
As for the rogues, they put up two looms and
pretended to be working; but they had nothing at
all on their looms. They at once demanded the
finest silk and velvet and the costliest gold thread.
These they put into their own bags, and worked at
the empty looms till late into the night.
 I should like to know how far they have got on
with the stuff,  thought the =Emperor. But he felt
quite uncomfortable when he remembered that those
who were not fit for their offices could not see it.
He believed, indeed, that he had nothing to fear for
himself, but he preferred first to send someone else
to see how matters stood. All the people in the city
knew what peculiar power the stuff possessed, and
all were anxious to see how bad or how stupid their
neighbors were.
 I will send my faithful old =Minister to the
weavers thought the =Emperor.  He can judge best



We shall need to take a small shovel to dig with
and a pail for some of the treasures we may find.
We would be wise to carry a small magnifying glass,
too. For some of the little creatures and their works
are very, very small.
First let us roam across this sand bar. A few hours
ago it was covered with water; now at ebb tide, the
water has slipped back. The sand bar points at the
sea like a long finger. Its surface is marked with
ridges where the waves have heaped the sand. Tiny
rivers carry off the water that was left behind and
wash deep ditches in the sand, just as much larger
rivers would do inland.
Look at that jet of water spurting up like a small
geyser. Dig quickly if you would find what makes it.
He is trying to get away, and the only way he can go
is down. Now you have him! PuD, and pull hard!
He seems to have roots as he holds fast to the sands.

In the morning the boy set out. The =Indian
walked with him to the end of his own south line
and shook hands.
 You one good boy, =John,  he said unexpectedly.
 You come again next year. 
 I will, sure,  promised =John.  Thanks for all
you've done for me, =Seth. Without you, I couldn't
have done this.  He hitched the heavy pack up on
his shoulder.  I guess, next to the =Judge, you're
about the best friend I ever had. 
The =Indian's brown face wrinkled all over beneath
his battered hat. He made a big gesture with his
hand.  Oh, sure,  he said.  Big country. Nice
company. Plenty furs us both. 
He held =John's hand. He said,  Now listen to
=Seth. If creeks open, you cut two logs crossing. You
mind =Seth. You cut two logs. One log roll. Two
logs safe crossing water. 
Yes, sure,  agreed =John. He wanted to get
away. The sun was well up by now.
  By,  said =Seth.
=John walked hard. He felt strong that morning.
He felt like a grown man. The weight of the pack,
chafing his shoulders, was a pleasure to carry.
Every time he eased it one way or another, he
thought about what it was going to mean. He
thought about coming home and telling his mother.
He would buy her a new dress. He would make a
Purchase of some calico for his sisters. Make a



back between strokes, they saw that others had come
to swim. It was =Harold =Boyd and a group of his
buddies, including a cousin, =Little =Red, who had been
visiting the =Boyds during the past month.
Harold =Boyd was one boy =David really disliked.
A lot of the other boys didn't like =Harold any better
than =David did, but =Harold usually had money to
spend, =80 he always had a group about him to listen
to his bragging and to suffer his bullying.
Harold cupped his hands and hollered again across
the water,  You fellows come out now! We want
to swim. 
Come on in if you want to,  =Ben shouted back.
 Nobody's stopping you. 

The Impractical Chimney Sweep

=John =William's father was a =Practical =Chimney
=Sweep. But then his name was =Albert =George, and,
of course, that made all the difference.
Albert =George used to drive round the town in
his donkey-cart, with all his brushes stuck up above
him like furry chimneys. When people met him,
they would ask,  How is the boy, =Albert =George? Is
he going to be a chimney sweep like you? 
=Albert =George would shake his head and say,  I
don't know. He's not what I'd call practical. 
One morning, =Albert =George and =John =William
set out to clean the chimneys of the house of =Lord
=Summerset. His house was a very big one, built in
the middle of a fine park. It was still dark when
=Albert =George drove up the long drive to the house.



 No, what?  asked =Janie.
 I'm glad you said you were scared. 
=Janie stopped and stared at her.  Why? 
 I never thought you'd be scared of anything.
You made me feel so foolish. You know so much
about picking wood, and you can handle a boat and
do so many things.  Her cheeks were very pink,
but her eyes were steady.  All I know is how to
do housework. So if you hadn't been scared this
afternoon, and I was scared, I guess it would have been
just the last straw. But now I don't feel so foolish
about being stupid in other way.  
You're not stupid,  =Janie objected.  You made
me feel kind of foolish, too, with my mother bragging
about how you like to sew and do housework. I
just do it because it has to be done, and I know I
should do it better, but I just can't keep my mind
on it. 
But you know how to do things in the house and
outdoors, too,  argued =Myra.  And I don't. 
Oh, you'll learn,  said =Janie gaily.  If you stay
on this island long enough, you'll learn to be a real
islander. Everything will work out fine. 
=Myra's lips turned up in a shy but happy smile.
=Janie smiled, too, and here it was, the wonderful
feeling she had expected to have when she first tried
to make friends with =Myra.

said 
 =Mother. Don't you want to put food in the tree, too?  In THe

   They are eating the food on the snow. Yes, they are, said
=Mother.
   Look in the tree, =Pat. Who is eating the food you put in
the tree?
   A raccoon, said =Pat. He's eating in the tree. I
surprised the
   rabbits. The raccoon surprised me.   The raccoons. Little
raccoons
  can't see. They can't play. 

  Look in the homes, and you will know who made the tracks
you see
  in the snow.   Animals in danger. Some animals can hide
from
  danger. Can you see the fawn? Can you see the squirrel.
Can you see
  the bear. What can ducks do? What can a frog do? What can
raccoons
  do? Some animals can get away from danger.   The
Squirrel. Up he 
  goes to the tree top. Round and round. Down he scampers
to the
  ground. What a tail. Tall as a feather, broad as a sail.
Where's his
  supper. Out it fell.

  Where did you go, asked =Mother? I lost you, =Pete. Oh,

said =Mother.
    But don't go down the street. The boys ran up the street
to =Ken's 
   house.

   I want to sleep, said Mr =Big. Go away and let me sleep.
Did the 
   animals go away? No they did not. I want to see the new
buildings,
   he said. I can walk up and down the streets. And I can
walk in the
    park. I'm going to sleep in the city, too. Mr =Big saw
some
    new buildings. He walked up and down the streets and he
walked
   in the park. Now I want to sleep, said Mr Big. My animals
can't stop
    me from sleeping in the city.  Did Mr =Big go to sleep?
No, he did
   not. Who can sleep in this city, he asked? I can't! Not
with the 
   cars going up and down the streets. The cars come and go,
and they
    don't stop. 

    The policeman said, Who did this? A woman said, Oh, no!
The
    policeman said, Who did this?  The Mayor said, Find Mr

    All the signs are up, said Mr =Pine. And I can look for
my glasses. 
    Now where are they? He looked and looked. Did I put my
glasses in 
    here, he asked? Mr =Pine looked in the dog house. He
said, My 
    glasses! Here they are. Mr =Pine put the glasses on and
went to
    see the signs. This is what Mr =Pine saw. Oh, my, said Mr
=Pine.
    My signs are all mixed up. Mr =Pine! Mr =Pine, said the
Mayor.
    Do something! Fix the signs.  Mr =Pine went to work. He
fixed all
    the signs in =LittleTown. The signs are not mixed up now.

    He looked up and said, I whistled! I whistled, =Dad. Yes,
you did,
    said =Dad. That was a good whistle. I went =wh and the
whistle came
    out. Fun around home. Red light. Green light. Look what
I made.
    =Penny said, Hop a little. Run a little. Do not stop.
Jump a little.
    Walk a little. Hop, Hop, hop. Away went =Penny down the
street.
    A boy saw =Penny. He saw the bag, too. The boy asked,
What do you
    have in that bag, =Penny? Let me see.  It's a surprise,
said =Penny.
    I can't stop now. On went =Penny down the street. =Penny
said, 
    I can run. And I can hop. I can jump. But I can't stop.
A girl 
    saw =Penny. The girl asked, What's in the bag? A
surprise, said
    =Penny. I can't stop. 

    The Ant and the Grasshopper.  Hello, little ant, said the
    grasshopper. Will you come and play with me? I will hide
in the 
    grass, and you can look for me there. The ant said, You
can hide
    in the grass. But I can't look for you there. I have work
to do.
   Don't work, said the grasshopper. When do you play,
little ant?
    I don't have time to play, said the ant. I'm looking for
food.
    I'm going to put the food away. And when the snow comes,
I will 
    have food to eat. Work away, said the grasshopper! I'm
going to play
    now. And away he went in the grass. The ant was still
working. She
    called, You can play but I will work. And I will have
food to eat
    when the snow comes.

    When they were eating, City Mouse saw something big. He
said, Run!
    Run, Country Mouse! And don't stop. Away went City Mouse.
And away
    went Country Mouse. They ran out of the house. City Mouse
called,
   Come back, Country Mouse. There is no danger now. The cat
went back
    into the house. But Country Mouse did not stop. He
called, No, I
    don't like to live where there is danger. I'm going home.
Country
    Mouse ran up a hill and into the country. When he got
home he said,
    At last I can stop! I will not go back to the city. Not
where the
    cat is! I will eat country food and City Mouse can live
in danger.

    I used to have a dream long ago about a giant tall as a
tree. He 
    came to the door and said, Come, holding his hand to me.
I never
    went but now that I'm bigger I wish I had. He may have
been a 
    friendly giant and I made him sad.

   Where is your home, he asked the robin? Here, here, here,
sang the
    robin. Here in this nest is my home. Here, here, here
sang the
   robins. Here is our home. Not for me, said the bunny. I
would fall
    out of the nest. I would fall on the ground. So he went
    looking for a home. Where is your home, he asked the
frog? Under
    the water. Down in the bog. Not for me, said the bunny.
Under the
    water, I would drown in bog. So he went looking for a
home. Where do
    you live, he asked a groundhog. In a log, said a
groundhog. May I
    come in, said the bunny? No, you can't come in my log,
said the
    groundhog. So the bunny went down the road. Down the road
and down
   the road he went. He was going to find a home of his own.
A home
    for a bunny, a home of his own. Under a rock or a log or
a stone.
  Where would a bunny find a home?

    Street. =Mother did not come. Where can she be, thought
=Dad? At
    =five o'clock =Mother went to =4th Street. =Dad did not
come. Where
    can he be, thought =Mother? When =Mother and =Dad got
home, they 
    called =Ted. You have to remember, they said. When you
answer the
    telephone, you have to remember what is said. I will,
said =Ted.
    

    He would help Mr =Mays with the balloons. Right this way,
=Bill
    called. Balloons! Balloons. Get your balloons here! There
was a
    balloon for every boy and girl at =Anders School. Every
balloon
    had a postcard with it. The postcard said: This balloon
came to you
    from the children at the =Anders School. Please mail the
postcard
    back to the school. We want to know who you are and where
you live.
    Mr =Mays let one balloon go. They he called to the
children. Let the
    balloons go! The children thought about the people who
would get
     the balloons. Who could they be? What fun it would be
when the 
    postcards came back in the mail.

    She couldn't run and hop and jump with the other
children. But every
    day school came to =Nan! Every day Miss =Green came to
help =Nan
    with her schoolwork. And every day Mr =Migs came with the
mail. 
    Long before he came, =Nan was waiting for him. At the
other houses
    Mr =Migs would put the mail in the boxes. But not at
=Nan's house.
    When the mail came for =Nan, Mr =Migs took it right to
her. Once a
    letter came from =Nan's grandmother, who lived a long way
off. 
    Other letters came from other children who could go to
school.

  In the morning the city spreads its wings making a song
of stone 
   that sings. In the evening the city goes to bed hanging
lights about
  its head.      See the sights! See the sights, called the
tall man!
  Every day the tall man came to =5th street. Every day, he
called,
    See the sights! See the sights! One day =Dan was walking
on =5th
    street. The tall man was there. He was calling, See the
sights!
   =Dan saw a big sight-seeing bus stop on =5th street.
There was a
    sign on the back of the bus. The sign said, See the
sights! What 
  sights? Where does the bus go, =Dan thought. The next
day,=Dan 
   walked up to the tall man. I want to see the sights, he
said. When 
    can I take the bus?

    At last the truck came to a stop in a cool barn. A big
blackbird
    looked down from the top of the barn. He could see the
top of
    Mr =Harvey's hat in the back of the truck. A hat, thought
the
    blackbird! I know something I can do with that! The
blackbird took
    the hat from the truck. In no time at all he was flying
    out of the barn and over to the farmer's scarecrow. He
put the hat 
    on top of the scarecrow. Now I know the farmer from the
scarecrow,
    said the blackbird. He smiled as he thought of the trick
he had 
    played on the farmer. The next Saturday Mr and Mrs
=Harvey went for
    a ride.

    Cat lived under eagle. Pig lived under Cat. They liked to
live this
    way. Three in a tree! When eagle wanted something, he
would call
    down to Cat. When Cat wanted something, she would call
down to Pig.
    When Pig wanted something, he would call up to all the
others. Yes,
    it was good to live this way. Three in a tree! One
morning Cat 
    wanted to sleep but she couldn't. Eagle was going in and
out, in and
    out of the tree top. Pig made funny noises from his home
in the 
    tree. How can I sleep here, said Cat? Up, up in the tree
she went.
    See here, Eagle, said Cat. I think Pig is unhappy with
all this 
    going in and out, in and out.

    Where are the machines? Why did the workmen stop building
the road? 
    =Jeff's dad looked up from his newspaper. Winter has
come, =Jeff,
    he said. The men can't work on the road now. It says here
in the 
    paper that the men will go back to work in the spring.
Spring, said
    =Jeff. But spring is far off! When will I find out what
is on the 
   other side of the mountain? The winter was long, but
spring came at 
    last. And with the first spring days came the road
workers. In no
    time at all the road had its new black top. There it was,
a new
    road that went up and over the mountain. =Jeff and =Dad
talked about
    the new road.

    All day long I just stay in this one place. It is no fun
being out
    there alone. Two men come up the hill. The boy sees them.
Help! 
    Help! Please help me! A wolf is going to eat my sheep!
Where? Where
    is that a wolf? Which way did it go? Follow me! The men
follow the
    boy to the top of the hill. I see many sheep, but where
is a wolf?
   Which way did the wolf go? There is no wolf. I played a
trick on
    you. The boy laughs. The second man talks to his friend.
This boy
    has tricked us. Come, my friend. Let's get back on our
horses and 
    get back to the city. We have no time for this boy's
tricks. The men
    ride down the hill.

    Other people we know are always in a hurry. Mothers
hurry. They 
    walk in a hurry and talk in a hurry. And they always want
you in
    a hurry. But =grandfather and I never hurry. We walk
along and walk 
    along. And stop, and look, just as long as we like.
Fathers hurry.
    They hurry off to work and they hurry home again. They
hurry when 
   they kiss you and when they take you for a ride. But
=Grandfather 
    and I never hurry. We walk along, and walk along and
stop, and look
  just as long as we like. Brothers and sisters hurry too.
They go
    so fast they often bump into you. And when they take you
for a walk
    they are always leaving you far behind.

    They toot whistles and blow horns. And sometimes scare
you.
    =Grandfather and I never hurry. We walk along and walk
along, and 
    stop and look just as long as we like. And when
=Grandfather and
    I get home we sit in a chair and rock and rock. And sing
a little
    and talk a little and rock and rock just as long as we
like.
   Until somebody tells us to hurry.

Will they find the food I put on the snow. We will see,
said   =Mother. Don't you want to put food in the tree, too?  In
THe tree, said =Pat? Rabbits don't live in trees! No, they
don't,  said =Mother. But you can put food in the tree. And we
will see    who finds it. =Pat said, =Mother! Mother! Come and see
the rabbits.    They are eating the food on the snow. Yes, they
are, said =Mother.    Look in the tree, =Pat. Who is eating the
food you put in the tree?    A raccoon, said =Pat. He's eating in
the tree. I surprised the    rabbits. The raccoon surprised me.  
The raccoons. Little raccoons   can't see. They can't play. 

  Look in the homes, and you will know who made the tracks
you see   in the snow.   Animals in danger. Some animals can hide
from   danger. Can you see the fawn? Can you see the squirrel.
Can you see   the bear. What can ducks do? What can a frog do? What
can raccoons   do? Some animals can get away from danger.   The
Squirrel. Up he goes to the tree top. Round and round. Down he
scampers to the   ground. What a tail. Tall as a feather, broad as
a sail. Where's his  supper. Out it fell.

  Where did you go, asked =Mother? I lost you, =Pete. Oh,
I did not       get lost, said =Pete. The policeman let me ride on
=Dandy. We looked    for you, =Mother. The policeman said, =Dandy
and I like to help     boys. We like to help lost mothers, too.  
The Big Machine.  =James     said, =Ken and I want to go down the
street. We want to see the     big machine. =Mother said, I don't
want you to go down the street.     You can
    see the machine from here. I like to see the machine,
said =James.     But I want to play. Let's do something, =Ken. I
know. Let's     make a machine. =Ken said, Let's make it at my
house.  =Mother, can     I go to =Ken's house, asked =James?  Yes,
you may go, said =Mother.     But don't go down the street. The
boys ran up the street to =Ken's     house.

   I want to sleep, said Mr =Big. Go away and let me sleep.
Did the 
   animals go away? No they did not. I want to see the new
buildings,
   he said. I can walk up and down the streets. And I can
walk in the
    park. I'm going to sleep in the city, too. Mr =Big saw
some
    new buildings. He walked up and down the streets and he
walked
   in the park. Now I want to sleep, said Mr Big. My animals
can't stop
    me from sleeping in the city.  Did Mr =Big go to sleep?
No, he did
   not. Who can sleep in this city, he asked? I can't! Not
with the 
   cars going up and down the streets. The cars come and go,
and they
    don't stop. 

    The policeman said, Who did this? A woman said, Oh, no!
The
    policeman said, Who did this?  The Mayor said, Find Mr
=Pine. Fast!
    All the signs are up, said Mr =Pine. And I can look for
my glasses. 
    Now where are they? He looked and looked. Did I put my
glasses in 
    here, he asked? Mr =Pine looked in the dog house. He
said, My 
    glasses! Here they are. Mr =Pine put the glasses on and
went to
    see the signs. This is what Mr =Pine saw. Oh, my, said Mr
=Pine.
    My signs are all mixed up. Mr =Pine! Mr =Pine, said the
Mayor.
    Do something! Fix the signs.  Mr =Pine went to work. He
fixed all
    the signs in =LittleTown. The signs are not mixed up now.

    He looked up and said, I whistled! I whistled, =Dad. Yes,
you did,
    said =Dad. That was a good whistle. I went =wh and the
whistle came
    out. Fun around home. Red light. Green light. Look what
I made.
    =Penny said, Hop a little. Run a little. Do not stop.
Jump a little.
    Walk a little. Hop, Hop, hop. Away went =Penny down the
street.
    A boy saw =Penny. He saw the bag, too. The boy asked,
What do you
    have in that bag, =Penny? Let me see.  It's a surprise,
said =Penny.
    I can't stop now. On went =Penny down the street. =Penny
said, 
    I can run. And I can hop. I can jump. But I can't stop.
A girl 
    saw =Penny. The girl asked, What's in the bag? A
surprise, said
    =Penny. I can't stop. 

    The Ant and the Grasshopper.  Hello, little ant, said the
    grasshopper. Will you come and play with me? I will hide
in the 
    grass, and you can look for me there. The ant said, You
can hide
    in the grass. But I can't look for you there. I have work
to do.
   Don't work, said the grasshopper. When do you play,
little ant?
    I don't have time to play, said the ant. I'm looking for
food.
    I'm going to put the food away. And when the snow comes,
I will 
    have food to eat. Work away, said the grasshopper! I'm
going to play
    now. And away he went in the grass. The ant was still
working. She
    called, You can play but I will work. And I will have
food to eat
    when the snow comes.

    When they were eating, City Mouse saw something big. He
said, Run!
    Run, Country Mouse! And don't stop. Away went City Mouse.
And away
    went Country Mouse. They ran out of the house. City Mouse
called,
   Come back, Country Mouse. There is no danger now. The cat
went back
    into the house. But Country Mouse did not stop. He
called, No, I
    don't like to live where there is danger. I'm going home.
Country
    Mouse ran up a hill and into the country. When he got
home he said,
    At last I can stop! I will not go back to the city. Not
where the
    cat is! I will eat country food and City Mouse can live
in danger.

    I used to have a dream long ago about a giant tall as a
tree. He 
    came to the door and said, Come, holding his hand to me.
I never
    went but now that I'm bigger I wish I had. He may have
been a 
    friendly giant and I made him sad.

   Where is your home, he asked the robin? Here, here, here,
sang the
    robin. Here in this nest is my home. Here, here, here
sang the
   robins. Here is our home. Not for me, said the bunny. I
would fall
    out of the nest. I would fall on the ground. So he went
    looking for a home. Where is your home, he asked the
frog? Under
    the water. Down in the bog. Not for me, said the bunny.
Under the
    water, I would drown in bog. So he went looking for a
home. Where do
    you live, he asked a groundhog. In a log, said a
groundhog. May I
    come in, said the bunny? No, you can't come in my log,
said the
    groundhog. So the bunny went down the road. Down the road
and down
   the road he went. He was going to find a home of his own.
A home
    for a bunny, a home of his own. Under a rock or a log or
a stone.
  Where would a bunny find a home?

you ask
    =Mother to come for me? Ask her to come to =5th street at
four. Can
    you remember that? I can remember, said =Ted. =5th street

    He would help Mr =Mays with the balloons. Right this way,
=Bill
    called. Balloons! Balloons. Get your balloons here! There
was a
    balloon for every boy and girl at =Anders School. Every
balloon
    had a postcard with it. The postcard said: This balloon
came to you
    from the children at the =Anders School. Please mail the
postcard
    back to the school. We want to know who you are and where
you live.
    Mr =Mays let one balloon go. They he called to the
children. Let the
    balloons go! The children thought about the people who
would get
     the balloons. Who could they be? What fun it would be
when the 
    postcards came back in the mail.

    She couldn't run and hop and jump with the other
children. But every
    day school came to =Nan! Every day Miss =Green came to
help =Nan
    with her schoolwork. And every day Mr =Migs came with the
mail. 
    Long before he came, =Nan was waiting for him. At the
other houses
    Mr =Migs would put the mail in the boxes. But not at
=Nan's house.
    When the mail came for =Nan, Mr =Migs took it right to
her. Once a
    letter came from =Nan's grandmother, who lived a long way
off. 
    Other letters came from other children who could go to
school.

  In the morning the city spreads its wings making a song
of stone 
   that sings. In the evening the city goes to bed hanging

  its head.      See the sights! See the sights, called the
tall man!
  Every day the tall man came to =5th street. Every day, he
called,
    See the sights! See the sights! One day =Dan was walking
on =5th
    street. The tall man was there. He was calling, See the
sights!
   =Dan saw a big sight-seeing bus stop on =5th street.
There was a
    sign on the back of the bus. The sign said, See the
sights! What 
  sights? Where does the bus go, =Dan thought. The next
day,=Dan 
   walked up to the tall man. I want to see the sights, he
said. When 
    can I take the bus?

    At last the truck came to a stop in a cool barn. A big
blackbird
    looked down from the top of the barn. He could see the
top of
    Mr =Harvey's hat in the back of the truck. A hat, thought
the
    blackbird! I know something I can do with that! The
blackbird took
    the hat from the truck. In no time at all he was flying
    out of the barn and over to the farmer's scarecrow. He
put the hat 
    on top of the scarecrow. Now I know the farmer from the
scarecrow,
    said the blackbird. He smiled as he thought of the trick
he had 
    played on the farmer. The next Saturday Mr and Mrs
=Harvey went for
    a ride.

    Cat lived under eagle. Pig lived under Cat. They liked to
live this
    way. Three in a tree! When eagle wanted something, he
would call
    down to Cat. When Cat wanted something, she would call
down to Pig.
    When Pig wanted something, he would call up to all the
others. Yes,
    it was good to live this way. Three in a tree! One
morning Cat 
    wanted to sleep but she couldn't. Eagle was going in and
out, in and
    out of the tree top. Pig made funny noises from his home
in the 
    tree. How can I sleep here, said Cat? Up, up in the tree
she went.
    See here, Eagle, said Cat. I think Pig is unhappy with
all this 
    going in and out, in and out.

    Where are the machines? Why did the workmen stop building
the road? 
    =Jeff's dad looked up from his newspaper. Winter has
come, =Jeff,
    he said. The men can't work on the road now. It says here
in the 
    paper that the men will go back to work in the spring.
Spring, said
    =Jeff. But spring is far off! When will I find out what
is on the 
   other side of the mountain? The winter was long, but
spring came at 
    last. And with the first spring days came the road
workers. In no
    time at all the road had its new black top. There it was,
a new
    road that went up and over the mountain. =Jeff and =Dad
talked about
    the new road.

    All day long I just stay in this one place. It is no fun
being out
    there alone. Two men come up the hill. The boy sees them.
Help! 
    Help! Please help me! A wolf is going to eat my sheep!
Where? Where
    is that a wolf? Which way did it go? Follow me! The men
follow the
    boy to the top of the hill. I see many sheep, but where
is a wolf?
   Which way did the wolf go? There is no wolf. I played a
trick on
    you. The boy laughs. The second man talks to his friend.
This boy
    has tricked us. Come, my friend. Let's get back on our
horses and 
    get back to the city. We have no time for this boy's
tricks. The men
    ride down the hill.

The organ man called the monkey.
But the monkey did not come down

The monkey looked down

He saw the organ man go

Fish for Dinner
  =Betty ! =Tom !   called Uncle =Fred.
  Look out of the window.
Do you want to go to the brook ?
Aunt =Mary wants fish for dinner.
Shall we catch some for her ?  

  Yes, yes, Uncle =Fred !   said =Tom.
  It is fun to go to the brook.

We will catch some big fish

   They are eating the food on the snow. Yes, they are, said
=Mother.
   Look in the tree, =Pat. Who is eating the food you put in
the tree?
   A raccoon, said =Pat. He's eating in the tree. I
surprised the
   rabbits. The raccoon surprised me.   The raccoons. Little
raccoons
  can't see. They can't play. 

  Look in the homes, and you will know who made the tracks
you see
  in the snow.   Animals in danger. Some animals can hide
from
  danger. Can you see the fawn? Can you see the squirrel.
Can you see
  the bear. What can ducks do? What can a frog do? What can
raccoons
  do? Some animals can get away from danger.   The
Squirrel. Up he 
  goes to the tree top. Round and round. Down he scampers
to the
  ground. What a tail. Tall as a feather, broad as a sail.
Where's his
  supper. Out it fell.

  Where did you go, asked =Mother? I lost you, =Pete. Oh,
I did not 
     get lost, said =Pete. The policeman let me ride on
=Dandy. We looked

   for you, =Mother. The policeman said, =Dandy and I like
to help
    boys. We like to help lost mothers, too.   The Big
Machine.  =James
    said, =Ken and I want to go down the street. We want to
see the
    big machine. =Mother said, I don't want you to go down
the street.
    You can
    see the machine from here. I like to see the machine,
said =James.
    But I want to play. Let's do something, =Ken. I know.
Let's
    make a machine. =Ken said, Let's make it at my house. 
=Mother, can
    I go to =Ken's house, asked =James?  Yes, you may go,
said =Mother.
    But don't go down the street. The boys ran up the street
to =Ken's 
   house.

   I want to sleep, said Mr =Big. Go away and let me sleep.
Did the 
   animals go away? No they did not. I want to see the new
buildings,
   he said. I can walk up and down the streets. And I can
walk in the
    park. I'm going to sleep in the city, too. Mr =Big saw
some
    new buildings. He walked up and down the streets and he
walked
   in the park. Now I want to sleep, said Mr Big. My animals
can't stop
    me from sleeping in the city.  Did Mr =Big go to sleep?
No, he did
   not. Who can sleep in this city, he asked? I can't! Not
with the 
   cars going up and down the streets. The cars come and go,
and they
    don't stop. 

    The policeman said, Who did this? A woman said, Oh, no!
The
    policeman said, Who did this?  The Mayor said, Find Mr
=Pine. Fast!
    All the signs are up, said Mr =Pine. And I can look for
my glasses. 
    Now where are they? He looked and looked. Did I put my
glasses in 
    here, he asked? Mr =Pine looked in the dog house. He
said, My 
    glasses! Here they are. Mr =Pine put the glasses on and
went to
    see the signs. This is what Mr =Pine saw. Oh, my, said Mr
=Pine.
    My signs are all mixed up. Mr =Pine! Mr =Pine, said the
Mayor.
    Do something! Fix the signs.  Mr =Pine went to work. He
fixed all
    the signs in =LittleTown. The signs are not mixed up now.

    He looked up and said, I whistled! I whistled, =Dad. Yes,
you did,
    said =Dad. That was a good whistle. I went =wh and the
whistle came
    out. Fun around home. Red light. Green light. Look what
I made.
    =Penny said, Hop a little. Run a little. Do not stop.
Jump a little.
    Walk a little. Hop, Hop, hop. Away went =Penny down the
street.
    A boy saw =Penny. He saw the bag, too. The boy asked,
What do you
    have in that bag, =Penny? Let me see.  It's a surprise,
said =Penny.
    I can't stop now. On went =Penny down the street. =Penny
said, 
    I can run. And I can hop. I can jump. But I can't stop.
A girl 
    saw =Penny. The girl asked, What's in the bag? A
surprise, said
    =Penny. I can't stop. 

    The Ant and the Grasshopper.  Hello, little ant, said the
    grasshopper. Will you come and play with me? I will hide
in the 
    grass, and you can look for me there. The ant said, You
can hide
    in the grass. But I can't look for you there. I have work
to do.
   Don't work, said the grasshopper. When do you play,
little ant?
    I don't have time to play, said the ant. I'm looking for
food.
    I'm going to put the food away. And when the snow comes,
I will 
    have food to eat. Work away, said the grasshopper! I'm
going to play
    now. And away he went in the grass. The ant was still
working. She
    called, You can play but I will work. And I will have
food to eat
    when the snow comes.

    When they were eating, City Mouse saw something big. He
said, Run!
    Run, Country Mouse! And don't stop. Away went City Mouse.
And away
    went Country Mouse. They ran out of the house. City Mouse
called,
   Come back, Country Mouse. There is no danger now. The cat
went back
    into the house. But Country Mouse did not stop. He
called, No, I
    don't like to live where there is danger. I'm going home.
Country
    Mouse ran up a hill and into the country. When he got
home he said,
    At last I can stop! I will not go back to the city. Not
where the
    cat is! I will eat country food and City Mouse can live
in danger.

    I used to have a dream long ago about a giant tall as a
tree. He 
    came to the door and said, Come, holding his hand to me.
I never
    went but now that I'm bigger I wish I had. He may have
been a 
    friendly giant and I made him sad.

   Where is your home, he asked the robin? Here, here, here,
sang the
    robin. Here in this nest is my home. Here, here, here
sang the
   robins. Here is our home. Not for me, said the bunny. I
would fall
    out of the nest. I would fall on the ground. So he went
    looking for a home. Where is your home, he asked the
frog? Under
    the water. Down in the bog. Not for me, said the bunny.
Under the
    water, I would drown in bog. So he went looking for a
home. Where do
    you live, he asked a groundhog. In a log, said a
groundhog. May I
    come in, said the bunny? No, you can't come in my log,
said the
    groundhog. So the bunny went down the road. Down the road
and down
   the road he went. He was going to find a home of his own.
A home
    for a bunny, a home of his own. Under a rock or a log or
a stone.
  Where would a bunny find a home?

&&111      =Ted was on the telephone. =Dad said, Hello, =Ted. Will
you ask
    =Mother to come for me? Ask her to come to =5th street at
four. Can
    you remember that? I can remember, said =Ted. =5th street
at =4.
    Who was that, asked =Mother? It was =Dad, said =Ted. He
wants you
    to come to =4th street at =5. At =4 o'clock =Dad went to
=5th
    Street. =Mother did not come. Where can she be, thought
=Dad? At

    called =Ted. You have to remember, they said. When you
answer the

    He would help Mr =Mays with the balloons. Right this way,
=Bill
    called. Balloons! Balloons. Get your balloons here! There
was a
    balloon for every boy and girl at =Anders School. Every
balloon
    had a postcard with it. The postcard said: This balloon
came to you
    from the children at the =Anders School. Please mail the
postcard
    back to the school. We want to know who you are and where
you live.
    Mr =Mays let one balloon go. They he called to the
children. Let the
    balloons go! The children thought about the people who
would get
     the balloons. Who could they be? What fun it would be
when the 
    postcards came back in the mail.

    She couldn't run and hop and jump with the other
children. But every
    day school came to =Nan! Every day Miss =Green came to
help =Nan
    with her schoolwork. And every day Mr =Migs came with the
mail. 
    Long before he came, =Nan was waiting for him. At the
other houses
    Mr =Migs would put the mail in the boxes. But not at
=Nan's house.
    When the mail came for =Nan, Mr =Migs took it right to
her. Once a
    letter came from =Nan's grandmother, who lived a long way
off. 
    Other letters came from other children who could go to
school.

  In the morning the city spreads its wings making a song
of stone 
   that sings. In the evening the city goes to bed hanging
lights about
  its head.      See the sights! See the sights, called the
tall man!
  Every day the tall man came to =5th street. Every day, he
called,
    See the sights! See the sights! One day =Dan was walking
on =5th
    street. The tall man was there. He was calling, See the
sights!
   =Dan saw a big sight-seeing bus stop on =5th street.
There was a
    sign on the back of the bus. The sign said, See the
sights! What 
  sights? Where does the bus go, =Dan thought. The next
day,=Dan 
   walked up to the tall man. I want to see the sights, he
said. When 
    can I take the bus?

    At last the truck came to a stop in a cool barn. A big
blackbird
    looked down from the top of the barn. He could see the
top of
    Mr =Harvey's hat in the back of the truck. A hat, thought
the
    blackbird! I know something I can do with that! The
blackbird took
    the hat from the truck. In no time at all he was flying
    out of the barn and over to the farmer's scarecrow. He
put the hat 
    on top of the scarecrow. Now I know the farmer from the
scarecrow,
    said the blackbird. He smiled as he thought of the trick
he had 
    played on the farmer. The next Saturday Mr and Mrs
=Harvey went for
    a ride.

    Cat lived under eagle. Pig lived under Cat. They liked to
live this
    way. Three in a tree! When eagle wanted something, he
would call
    down to Cat. When Cat wanted something, she would call
down to Pig.
    When Pig wanted something, he would call up to all the
others. Yes,
    it was good to live this way. Three in a tree! One
morning Cat 
    wanted to sleep but she couldn't. Eagle was going in and
out, in and
    out of the tree top. Pig made funny noises from his home
in the 
    tree. How can I sleep here, said Cat? Up, up in the tree
she went.
    See here, Eagle, said Cat. I think Pig is unhappy with
all this 
    going in and out, in and out.

    Where are the machines? Why did the workmen stop building
the road? 
    =Jeff's dad looked up from his newspaper. Winter has
come, =Jeff,
    he said. The men can't work on the road now. It says here
in the 
    paper that the men will go back to work in the spring.
Spring, said
    =Jeff. But spring is far off! When will I find out what
is on the 
   other side of the mountain? The winter was long, but
spring came at 
    last. And with the first spring days came the road
workers. In no
    time at all the road had its new black top. There it was,
a new
    road that went up and over the mountain. =Jeff and =Dad
talked about
    the new road.

    All day long I just stay in this one place. It is no fun
being out
    there alone. Two men come up the hill. The boy sees them.
Help! 
    Help! Please help me! A wolf is going to eat my sheep!
Where? Where
    is that a wolf? Which way did it go? Follow me! The men
follow the
    boy to the top of the hill. I see many sheep, but where
is a wolf?
   Which way did the wolf go? There is no wolf. I played a
trick on
    you. The boy laughs. The second man talks to his friend.
This boy
    has tricked us. Come, my friend. Let's get back on our
horses and 
    get back to the city. We have no time for this boy's
tricks. The men
    ride down the hill.

    Other people we know are always in a hurry. Mothers
hurry. They 
    walk in a hurry and talk in a hurry. And they always want
you in
    a hurry. But =grandfather and I never hurry. We walk
along and walk 
    along. And stop, and look, just as long as we like.
Fathers hurry.
    They hurry off to work and they hurry home again. They
hurry when 
   they kiss you and when they take you for a ride. But
=Grandfather 
    and I never hurry. We walk along, and walk along and
stop, and look
  just as long as we like. Brothers and sisters hurry too.
They go
    so fast they often bump into you. And when they take you
for a walk
    they are always leaving you far behind.

    They toot whistles and blow horns. And sometimes scare
you.
    =Grandfather and I never hurry. We walk along and walk
along, and 
    stop and look just as long as we like. And when
=Grandfather and
    I get home we sit in a chair and rock and rock. And sing
a little
    and talk a little and rock and rock just as long as we
like.
   Until somebody tells us to hurry.

00014 111 =Dad. This seal can play ball. =Dad said, Yes, it can, =Ben. The
00015 111 seal likes to play with the ball. I like the seal, said =Ben. It can
00016 111 swim and play ball. But it can't say hello. I want you to see the
00017 111 =parrot, =Dad. I want the =parrot to say hello to you. =Nan said, 
00018 111 Come here, =Jill. Come and see this elephant. What a little 
00019 111 elephant, said =Jill. =Kay said, Help me, =Dad. I can't see the 
00020 111 elephant. =Dad said, Here you are, =Kay. Can you see the elephant?
00021 111 I can! I can, said =Kay. The elephant wants to swim. It can't swim
00022 111 here, said =Dad. But it can play. Elephants like this, =Kay.
00023 111 =Kay said, Here comes a man. Who is he, =Dad? Is he the zoo man?
00024 111 Yes, he is, said =Dad. The elephant sees the man, said =Kay. This 
00025 111 elephant can run, =Dad. Here, little elephant, said the man. You 
00026 111 will like this.  =Kay said, I can guess what the elephant wants.
00027 111 Can you guess, =Dad? The little goats. I want to see the goats,
00028 111 said =Bill. Here they are, =Ted. =Ted said, We can play with the 
00029 111 goats. Here they come, =Bill. =Bill said, Look at this goat. He 
00030 111 wants something, =Ted. Hello, little goat, said =Ted. Do you want 
00031 111 something?  Do you want to play with me? What do you want? The goats
00032 111 don't want to play, said =Jill. They want something to eat. =Nan 
00033 111 said, Help the goats, =Ted. this is what they want you to do.
00034 111 =Ben said, I want to help this goat. I can get something for it to 
00035 111 eat. I will help you, said =Dad. Here you are, =Ben. Stop, goat,
00036 111 said =Ben! I can get this for you. Can't I help you?         A man 
00037 111 wants help. He sees a helicopter. He wants to get in it. Who is in 
00038 111 the helicopter? What will he do? This man can't swim. He wants help.
00039 111 The man sees a helicopter. Who is in the helicopter? What will he 
00040 111 do? This man wants a ride. He wants a ride to the airport. Here 
00041 111 comes a helicopter. It will stop for the man. He will ride to the 
00042 111 airport in the helicopter. The animals want something. What do they
00043 111 want? Here comes a helicopter. A man is in it. He comes with 
00044 111 something for the animals. It is something the animals will eat.
00045 111 Here comes a helicopter. It comes with something big. It comes with
00046 111 something this man wants. The helicopter is little. But it is a 
00047 111 big help. What can the helicopter do? Will it stop here? A man
00048 111 said, Who will go for a ride with me? Who will go for a ride in 
00049 111 this helicopter? Get in! Get in!  Who wants a helicopter
00050 111 ride? Will the helicopter go fast?
00051 111   The surprise. =Dad said, Here we are boys. This is the airport.
00052 111 =Bill said, Is the surprise here? Is it something we can do? =Dad
00053 111 said, The surprise is here. It is something boys like to do.
00054 111 What a big airport, said =Ted! Look at the helicopters, =Bill. A 
00055 111 helicopter, =Bill. Is the surprise a ride in a helicopter?
00056 111 Did we guess, =Dad? Yes, you did, said =Dad. And here is the
00057 111 helicopter. Get in, boys. The man said, =Here we go. Did you guess
00058 111 the surprise?  Yes, we did, said =Ted. This ride is a big 
00059 111 surprise. =Dad said, Boys like surprises. And I like to ride in a 
00060 111 helicopter. =Look boys, said the man. Can you see the zoo? I can,
00061 111 said =Bill. But I can't the animals. I guess they are too little.
00062 111 Look for the elephants, said the man. They are not too little.
00063 111 I can see a big elephant and the goats, said =Ted. But I can't
00064 111 see the =parrot. It is too small for me to see. I like this ride,
00065 111 said =Bill. This is the ride for me!        A funny ride. Here is a 
00066 111 funny old helicopter. A =parrot is in it. The =parrot likes to ride
00067 111 in the funny old helicopter. The =parrot said, Hello, =Bill.
00068 111 Do you want to ride with me? Yes, I do, said =Bill. This is a funny
00069 111 old helicopter but I will ride in it. Hop in, said the =parrot. Hop
00070 111 in, =Bill. I can see the zoo, said =Bill. Look here, =Parrot. Are you
00071 111 the zoo =parrot? Did you say hello to =Ben? Yes, I did, said the 
00072 111 =parrot. I said hello to =Ben. He likes me. =Bill said, can I make 
00073 111 the helicopter go? Yes, you can, said the =parrot. Make the 
00074 111 helicopter go. =Bill said, I like a fast ride. Will
00075 111 this old helicopter go fast? Yes, it will, said the =parrot. You can
00076 111 make it go fast. =Bill said, Here we go for a fast ride. Stop! 
00077 111 Stop, said the =parrot. This is not funny. Stop the helicopter. I
00078 111 can't, said =Bill! I can't make it stop. Help me, =Parrot. Help me!
00079 111 =Dad said, I will help you. What do you want, =Bill? I want you,
00080 111 said =Bill. I don't want the =parrot. He is not funny. I don't
00081 111 want the old helicopter. And I don't want to ride in it. Don't go,
00082 111 =Dad. I want you here. =Dad said.  Here is the =lion. And here is the
00083 111 little mouse. =Kay said, What will the =lion do to the mouse? Read
00084 111 the book, =Dad. you read, and I will look at the animals. The
00085 111 =Lion and the Mouse. =Lion said, Hello, Mouse. I want something to
00086 111 eat. I will eat you. Don't eat me, said the Mouse. Let me go, 
00087 111 =Lion. Let me go. And I will do something for you. =Lion said,
00088 111 you can't help me. you are too little. Yes, I am little, said

00090 111 you will see. =Lion said, I will let you go. Run fast, =Mouse. I
00091 111 will surprise you, said =Mouse. You will see what I can do. 
00092 111 =Lion said, Help! Help! I want to get away from here, but I can't.
00093 111 =Mouse said, Here I am, =Lion. I will help you get away from here.
00094 111 =Lion said, You can't help me. You are too little. =Mouse said, No, 
00095 111 Lion. I am not too little to help you. I can help you get away from
00096 111 here. Do something fast, said Lion. A man will come and get me.
00097 111 He will get you too. =Mouse said, Look here, Lion. See what I can do.
00098 111 Lion said, You did help me! You are little, =Mouse. But you did 
00099 111 something big for me. Yes, I did, said =Mouse. But you did not

00001 111 Will they find the food I put on the snow. We will see, said 
00002 111 =Mother. Don't you want to put food in the tree, too?  In the
00003 111 tree, said =Pat? Rabbits don't live in trees! No, they don't,
00004 111 said =Mother. But you can put food in the tree. And we will see
00005 111 who finds it. =Pat said, =Mother! Mother! Come and see the rabbits.
00006 111 They are eating the food on the snow. Yes, they are, said =Mother.
00007 111 Look in the tree, =Pat. Who is eating the food you put in the tree?
00008 111 A raccoon, said =Pat. He's eating in the tree. I surprised the
00009 111 rabbits. The raccoon surprised me.   The raccoons. Little raccoons
00010 111 can't see. They can't play. 

00011 111 Look in the homes, and you will know who made the tracks you see
00012 111 in the snow.   Animals in danger. Some animals can hide from
00013 111 danger. Can you see the fawn? Can you see the squirrel. Can you see
00014 111 the bear. What can ducks do? What can a frog do? What can raccoons
00015 111 do? Some animals can get away from danger.   The Squirrel. Up he 
00016 111 goes to the tree top. Round and round. Down he scampers to the
00017 111 ground. What a tail. Tall as a feather, broad as a sail. Where's his
00018 111 supper. Out it fell.

00019 111 Where did you go, asked =Mother? I lost you, =Pete. Oh, I did not 
00020 111 get lost, said =Pete. The policeman let me ride on =Dandy. We looked
00021 111 for you, =Mother. The policeman said, =Dandy and I like to help
00022 111 boys. We like to help lost mothers, too.   The Big Machine.  =James
00023 111 said, =Ken and I want to go down the street. We want to see the
00024 111 big machine. =Mother said, I don't want you to go down the street.
00024 111 You can
00025 111 see the machine from here. I like to see the machine, said =James.
00026 111 But I want to play. Let's do something, =Ken. I know. Let's
00027 111 make a machine. =Ken said, Let's make it at my house.  =Mother, can
00028 111 I go to =Ken's house, asked =James?  Yes, you may go, said =Mother.
00029 111 But don't go down the street. The boys ran up the street to =Ken's 
00030 111 house.

00031 111 I want to sleep, said Mr =Big. Go away and let me sleep. Did the 
00032 111 animals go away? No they did not. I want to see the new buildings,
00033 111 he said. I can walk up and down the streets. And I can walk in the
00034 111 park. I'm going to sleep in the city, too. Mr =Big saw some
00035 111 new buildings. He walked up and down the streets and he walked
00036 111 in the park. Now I want to sleep, said Mr Big. My animals can't stop
00037 111 me from sleeping in the city.  Did Mr =Big go to sleep? No, he did
00038 111 not. Who can sleep in this city, he asked? I can't! Not with the 
00039 111 cars going up and down the streets. The cars come and go, and they
00040 111 don't stop. 

00041 111 The policeman said, Who did this? A woman said, Oh, no! The
00042 111 policeman said, Who did this?  The Mayor said, Find Mr =Pine. Fast!
00043 111 All the signs are up, said Mr =Pine. And I can look for my glasses. 
00044 111 Now where are they? He looked and looked. Did I put my glasses in 
00045 111 here, he asked? Mr =Pine looked in the dog house. He said, My 
00046 111 glasses! Here they are. Mr =Pine put the glasses on and went to
00047 111 see the signs. This is what Mr =Pine saw. Oh, my, said Mr =Pine.
00048 111 My signs are all mixed up. Mr =Pine! Mr =Pine, said the Mayor.
00049 111 Do something! Fix the signs.  Mr =Pine went to work. He fixed all
00050 111 the signs in =LittleTown. The signs are not mixed up now.

00051 111 He looked up and said, I whistled! I whistled, =Dad. Yes, you did,
00052 111 said =Dad. That was a good whistle. I went =wh and the whistle came
00053 111 out. Fun around home. Red light. Green light. Look what I made.
00054 111 =Penny said, Hop a little. Run a little. Do not stop. Jump a little.
00055 111 Walk a little. Hop, Hop, hop. Away went =Penny down the street.
00056 111 A boy saw =Penny. He saw the bag, too. The boy asked, What do you
00057 111 have in that bag, =Penny? Let me see.  It's a surprise, said =Penny.
00058 111 I can't stop now. On went =Penny down the street. =Penny said, 
00059 111 I can run. And I can hop. I can jump. But I can't stop. A girl 
00060 111 saw =Penny. The girl asked, What's in the bag? A surprise, said
00061 111 =Penny. I can't stop. 

00062 111 The Ant and the Grasshopper.  Hello, little ant, said the
00063 111 grasshopper. Will you come and play with me? I will hide in the 
00064 111 grass, and you can look for me there. The ant said, You can hide
00065 111 in the grass. But I can't look for you there. I have work to do.
00066 111 Don't work, said the grasshopper. When do you play, little ant?
00067 111 I don't have time to play, said the ant. I'm looking for food.
00068 111 I'm going to put the food away. And when the snow comes, I will 
00069 111 have food to eat. Work away, said the grasshopper! I'm going to play
00070 111 now. And away he went in the grass. The ant was still working. She
00071 111 called, You can play but I will work. And I will have food to eat
00072 111 when the snow comes.

00073 111 When they were eating, City Mouse saw something big. He said, Run!
00074 111 Run, Country Mouse! And don't stop. Away went City Mouse. And away
00075 111 went Country Mouse. They ran out of the house. City Mouse called,
00076 111 Come back, Country Mouse. There is no danger now. The cat went back
00077 111 into the house. But Country Mouse did not stop. He called, No, I
00078 111 don't like to live where there is danger. I'm going home. Country
00079 111 Mouse ran up a hill and into the country. When he got home he said,
00080 111 At last I can stop! I will not go back to the city. Not where the
00081 111 cat is! I will eat country food and City Mouse can live in danger.

00082 111 I used to have a dream long ago about a giant tall as a tree. He 
00083 111 came to the door and said, Come, holding his hand to me. I never
00084 111 went but now that I'm bigger I wish I had. He may have been a 
00085 111 friendly giant and I made him sad.

00086 111 Where is your home, he asked the robin? Here, here, here, sang the
00087 111 robin. Here in this nest is my home. Here, here, here sang the
00088 111 robins. Here is our home. Not for me, said the bunny. I would fall
00089 111 out of the nest. I would fall on the ground. So he went
00090 111 looking for a home. Where is your home, he asked the frog? Under
00091 111 the water. Down in the bog. Not for me, said the bunny. Under the
00092 111 water, I would drown in bog. So he went looking for a home. Where do
00093 111 you live, he asked a groundhog. In a log, said a groundhog. May I
00094 111 come in, said the bunny? No, you can't come in my log, said the
00095 111 groundhog. So the bunny went down the road. Down the road and down
00096 111 the road he went. He was going to find a home of his own. A home
00097 111 for a bunny, a home of his own. Under a rock or a log or a stone.
00098 111 Where would a bunny find a home?

00012 111 He would help Mr =Mays with the balloons. Right this way, =Bill
00013 111 called. Balloons! Balloons. Get your balloons here! There was a
00014 111 balloon for every boy and girl at =Anders School. Every balloon
00015 111 had a postcard with it. The postcard said: This balloon came to you
00016 111 from the children at the =Anders School. Please mail the postcard
00017 111 back to the school. We want to know who you are and where you live.
00018 111 Mr =Mays let one balloon go. They he called to the children. Let the
00019 111 balloons go! The children thought about the people who would get
00020 111 the balloons. Who could they be? What fun it would be when the 
00021 111 postcards came back in the mail.

00022 111 She couldn't run and hop and jump with the other children. But every
00023 111 day school came to =Nan! Every day Miss =Green came to help =Nan
00024 111 with her schoolwork. And every day Mr =Migs came with the mail. 
00025 111 Long before he came, =Nan was waiting for him. At the other houses
00026 111 Mr =Migs would put the mail in the boxes. But not at =Nan's house.
00027 111 When the mail came for =Nan, Mr =Migs took it right to her. Once a
00028 111 letter came from =Nan's grandmother, who lived a long way off. 
00029 111 Other letters came from other children who could go to school.

00030 111 In the morning the city spreads its wings making a song of stone 
00031 111 that sings. In the evening the city goes to bed hanging lights about
00032 111 its head.      See the sights! See the sights, called the tall man!
00033 111 Every day the tall man came to =5th street. Every day, he called,
00034 111 See the sights! See the sights! One day =Dan was walking on =5th
00035 111 street. The tall man was there. He was calling, See the sights!
00036 111 =Dan saw a big sight-seeing bus stop on =5th street. There was a
00037 111 sign on the back of the bus. The sign said, See the sights! What 
00038 111 sights? Where does the bus go, =Dan thought. The next day,=Dan 
00039 111 walked up to the tall man. I want to see the sights, he said. When 
00040 111 can I take the bus?

00041 111 At last the truck came to a stop in a cool barn. A big blackbird
00042 111 looked down from the top of the barn. He could see the top of
00043 111 Mr =Harvey's hat in the back of the truck. A hat, thought the
00044 111 blackbird! I know something I can do with that! The blackbird took
00045 111 the hat from the truck. In no time at all he was flying
00046 111 out of the barn and over to the farmer's scarecrow. He put the hat 
00047 111 on top of the scarecrow. Now I know the farmer from the scarecrow,
00048 111 said the blackbird. He smiled as he thought of the trick he had 
00049 111 played on the farmer. The next Saturday Mr and Mrs =Harvey went for
00050 111 a ride.

00051 111 Cat lived under eagle. Pig lived under Cat. They liked to live this
00052 111 way. Three in a tree! When eagle wanted something, he would call
00053 111 down to Cat. When Cat wanted something, she would call down to Pig.
00054 111 When Pig wanted something, he would call up to all the others. Yes,
00055 111 it was good to live this way. Three in a tree! One morning Cat 
00056 111 wanted to sleep but she couldn't. Eagle was going in and out, in and
00057 111 out of the tree top. Pig made funny noises from his home in the 
00058 111 tree. How can I sleep here, said Cat? Up, up in the tree she went.
00059 111 See here, Eagle, said Cat. I think Pig is unhappy with all this 
00060 111 going in and out, in and out.

00061 111 Where are the machines? Why did the workmen stop building the road? 
00062 111 =Jeff's dad looked up from his newspaper. Winter has come, =Jeff,
00063 111 he said. The men can't work on the road now. It says here in the 
00064 111 paper that the men will go back to work in the spring. Spring, said
00065 111 =Jeff. But spring is far off! When will I find out what is on the 
00066 111 other side of the mountain? The winter was long, but spring came at 
00067 111 last. And with the first spring days came the road workers. In no
00068 111 time at all the road had its new black top. There it was, a new
00069 111 road that went up and over the mountain. =Jeff and =Dad talked about
00070 111 the new road.

00071 111 All day long I just stay in this one place. It is no fun being out
00072 111 there alone. Two men come up the hill. The boy sees them. Help! 
00073 111 Help! Please help me! A wolf is going to eat my sheep! Where? Where
00074 111 is that a wolf? Which way did it go? Follow me! The men follow the
00075 111 boy to the top of the hill. I see many sheep, but where is a wolf?
00076 111 Which way did the wolf go? There is no wolf. I played a trick on
00077 111 you. The boy laughs. The second man talks to his friend. This boy
00078 111 has tricked us. Come, my friend. Let's get back on our horses and 
00079 111 get back to the city. We have no time for this boy's tricks. The men
00080 111 ride down the hill.

00081 111 Other people we know are always in a hurry. Mothers hurry. They 
00082 111 walk in a hurry and talk in a hurry. And they always want you in
00083 111 a hurry. But =grandfather and I never hurry. We walk along and walk 
00084 111 along. And stop, and look, just as long as we like. Fathers hurry.
00085 111 They hurry off to work and they hurry home again. They hurry when 
00086 111 they kiss you and when they take you for a ride. But =Grandfather 
00087 111 and I never hurry. We walk along, and walk along and stop, and look
00088 111 just as long as we like. Brothers and sisters hurry too. They go
00089 111 so fast they often bump into you. And when they take you for a walk
00090 111 they are always leaving you far behind.

00091 111 They toot whistles and blow horns. And sometimes scare you.
00092 111 =Grandfather and I never hurry. We walk along and walk along, and 
00093 111 stop and look just as long as we like. And when =Grandfather and
00094 111 I get home we sit in a chair and rock and rock. And sing a little
00095 111 and talk a little and rock and rock just as long as we like.
00096 111 Until somebody tells us to hurry.

=Chitter-Chatter
was a bold little squirrel.
He could not stay afraid.
Not =Chitter-Chatter!
By and by he peeped
out of the nest.
He peeped, and what did he see?
That old owl was not around.
Not in this tree!
Not in that tree!
Not in any tree!
What was there to be afraid of?
Not one thing!
So down the tree he ran.


Everyone was feeling bad
about the spell down.
Everyone but me! So I said,
 I will get the blue ribbon
at the next spell down.
So I will give this blue ribbon 
to the one who knows this word.
The one I will spell for you now!
Write the word on paper
as I spell it. Are you ready? 
Then I started in to spell.
This is the way my word went.
  =LUFITUAEB
Do you want to know something?
No one in our town knew
what that word was.
What do you think about that?



 This page is for =Daddy
when he gets home from his trip, 
said =Janet.
 He can write a riddle, too. 
The next day
=Daddy was back home again.
Before he had time
to get into the house,
the girls were tumbling
all over him.
Tumbling all over him
and talking at the same time!
 Look at what we made! Just look! 



There was just one animal
the blue-eyed colt did not like.
One morning an old red fox
ran out of the woods.
The blue-eyed colt saw the fox
as he ran into the meadow.
The blue-eyed colt was afraid.
He called
to the rest of the colts,
and they came running.
When the red fox saw
all those long, long legs,
he ran back into the green woods.  


One big jump,and =Chitter-Chatter landed
on that round, brown hill.
He landed all right,
but it was not a hill.
It was a big old mud turtle.
Mr =Mud =Turtle had come up
out of the water
to warm himself in the sun.
He did not like to have
a squirrel on his back.
So down under the water he went.
Down under the water after him
went =Chitter-Chatter,
but not for long.



Then =Chitter-Chatter ran on
until he came to the edge
of the green woods.
There in a green meadow
he saw a lamb
and a little brown calf.
In the long grass
at the edge of the woods,
he saw a nest.
He poked his nose down
to see what was in it.
It was a nest of little rabbits.



I think that picture
made =Mark feel better.
That is why
he went right to work
to paint another one.
This time it was =Mother.
There she was at the door
with mud-all-over her.
Socks was all mud, too.
There was =Mark talking to them.
Boy, was he talking!
You could just hear him go on.


My Own Book! My Best Book!

Mother was all by herself
when =David came home.
 =Ting-a-ling!  he called,
as he ran in at the door.
 Uncle =Will is not here,
but I am. See what I have! 
=Mother had to stop her work
right then and there.
 Well, now!  she said,
as she sat down with =David
to look at his animal book.

Miss =Mary looked up
at the trees and the blue sky.
Then she looked around
at her own green grass.
 This grass is all clover, 
she said to herself.
A little clover is all right.
Too much clover
is not good for any grass. 



Just like itself!  said =Daddy.
 You have imagination, =Janet.
How do you make it work? 
Oh, you make up something, 
said =Janet.
 It can be something good.
It can be just in fun.
You have to make it up.
It cannot be something you saw.
It cannot be something you did.
You just make it up.
You call that imagination. 
Let me hear you do it.
Show me how,  said =Daddy.

You can't do that, said =Pat's friend.
But I'll tell you what.
You Call live at my house so you
won't have to stay around her. 

Good,  =Pat said as he began to run.
I'll go home and get my things. 

When =Pat got home, his mother
was in the kitchen.
She was mixing milk for the baby.
In the next room, the baby cried.
=Pat walked over to his mother.
He was all set to tell her that he
was moving out of the house.
But then he stopped.
=Mom will get mad,  he said
to himself.

Just then a man rapped on the door
As =Pat's mother went to the back
door, the baby cried and cried.

=Pat went to the door of the
baby's room.
He looked at the little baby.

She is so little,  he said to himself.



People made the paper in this book.
People made the paper you paint on.
They made all the other paper in
your room.

But people did not make the first
paper in the world.
Wasps made paper before people did.
Wasps made paper from wood.
Wasps build nests with the paper
they make.
Look at the picture to see the paper
nest of the wasp.
Before a wasp can make a nest, it has
to make paper.
It gets a bit of old wood and chews it
The wasp chews the wood to make it
soft and wet.
It chews and chews and chews.



Over in the garden
In the bright hot sun,
Lived a big mother turtle
And her little turtle one.
 Sleep,  said the mother.
 I will sleep, said the one.
 I will sleep all day
In the bright, hot sun. 
Over in the garden
Where the pond is blue,
Lived a big mother frog
And her little frogs two.
Splash,  said the mother.
 We will splash,  said the two.
 We will splash all day
Where the pond is blue. 
Over in the garden
In a tall green tree,
Lived a big mother bird
And her little birds three.
 Sing,  said the mother.
 We will Sing,  said the three.
 We will Sing all day
In the tall green tree. 



He rides the donkey and makes
his poor old father walk! 

At that, the boy said,  Stop, =Father.
I'm going to let you ride. 
And the boy got down from the
donkey and helped his father up.
They went on down the road.

Soon they met some other people.

Where is that big man going on that
poor little donkey?  asked a man.
I'm surprised they don't let the poor
donkey ride on the man. 

So the father jumped down and
picked up the little donkey.
The boy helped, and they put the
donkey on the father's back.
They walked on down the road.



=CHICKENLITTLE: I'm =ChickenLittle.
I live in this house.
This is the yard around it.
I am under a tree in my yard.
But what was that?
Something fell on my back.
I think it was the sky!
I must run and tell the king.

=A =BOY: =ChickenLittle began to run.
Soon she met =HennyPenny.
Where are you going?
I am going to tell the king that the sky is falling.
Where did it fall?
On me!  So I must tell the King.
The I will go with you.
=HennyPenny ran down the road with =CheickenLittle.  Soon they met
=DuckyLucky.


Flower spiders live in flowers.
When you first look at a flower,
you will not see the spider.
Flower spiders are very small and
very light in color.

The small bugs that come to the
flower don't see the flower spider.
But the flower spider sees the bugs.
Then the spider has something to eat.
House spiders spin webs in the ho
Mothers do not like to see spider
webs in the house.
But spiders are a help to us.
They help us when they eat some
of the bugs that are bad for people.
It is good that spiders eat bugs.



I am the mother, said a tall girl.
=Peter was very bad.
He has to go to bed hungry.
The other rabbits get something to
eat, but not poor =Peter.
Bad rabbits must go to bed hungry. 

Very good,  said the teacher.
Now, rabbits, get the ears and put
them on. 

The children went to a box and got
the rabbit ears they had made.


Some colors are light.
Other colors are dark.
What light green things do you see?
What dark green things do you see?

You can make light green paint.
Just put a little yellow paint into
some dark green paint.
As you mix in the yellow paint,
you will get light green paint.

Next, you can make dark green.
Just put a little blue paint into
some light green paint.
The world is filled with colors.

They are all around you.
of all the colors you see, what color
do you like best?
Call you make the color you like magic?

Do you think colors are like magic?
What makes them like magic?



A turtle's legs are very little.
Its legs are so small that it
can't walk very fast.
It can't run at all.

But turtles do not need to go fast.
When something runs after a turtle,
it just pulls back into its shell.
Then its big shell is all you can see.

You can pick up a turtle.
You can look at its legs and shell.
When you pick a turtle up fast,
what do you think it will do?


It was dark when =Father came home.
He went up to =Pat and picked him up.
=Pat, old boy, I have a surprise
for you!  said =Father.

Is it a boy?  asked =Pat.
No, a girl!  said =Father.
We have a little baby girl.
Her her name is =Pam.

A girl! That was something for Pat
to think about.
He had wished and wished for a boy.
Just thinking about a baby girl
made him mad.


In four days, =Pat's mother came home with the baby.
On that day, Pat and his friend
played together in the snow.

You look mad,  said =Pat's friend.

I am mad,  said =Pat.
 Mom came home with the baby
this morning.
Who needs a baby girl around?

 Oh, a baby girl is not so bad! 
said the friend. All I have is a dog. 

 I wish I had a dog,  said =Pat.
 I'll trade the baby for your dog.

=Lester looked around
 What things, =Mom? 

 What things?  said his mother.
 I see six toys you have not put away.
Look at that box of rocks.
And what about the bag of shells?
Your mouse cage is on the chair.
Your bird's nest is under your bed.
Just look at that jar of frog eggs.
And pull your sheets up on your bed. 

 But, =Mom, said =Lester,  I just got
a sheet of paper to write to =Dad.
I can work on my room tomorrow. 
After school the next day, =Lester
went to work.
He picked up four books to put away.

But then he lay down on his bed
and opened the book on top.
It was about the moon and stars.
The next book that =Lester opened
was about spiders and bugs.
The last two he opened were just
as good as the first two.
Soon the afternoon was over.
 I can work on this old room
tomorrow,  said =Lester to himself:

And something to play with,
said =Willie.

He looked all around him.
There in the long grass was
a little green shiny marble
some boy had lost.
So =Willie put it in his pocket.
 And pockets are to keep things in, 
said =Willie.

Then he remembered a gold medal that
his grandfather had once given him.
And he went home and he put that
his pocket.
He put the gold medal
in a pocket that had a zipper,
so he wouldn't lose it.
Then, just as the sun went down,
his father came walking home.

 What have you got
in all your new pockets?  he asked.

 They are all full,  said =Willie.

And he pulled everything
out of his pockets and showed
his father.
And he gave his father
one of the shells to keep.



Then up came a boy
who had only one fish.
 What is the matter?  he asked.
 You have so many fish.
Why don't you look happy? 

 Six of us came here to fish, 
Said =Brother =One.
 Now there are only five of us.
One of us fell into the river. 

The boy looked surprised.
 Only five of you!  he said.
 Why do you say that? 

 Look, I will show you, 
Said =Brother =One
=Brother =One pointed to
of his brothers.
 One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six of us came here,  he said.
Now only five are going back.
I can help you find
your lost brother,  said the boy.
When I point to you,
I want you to count. 

First of all across the bridge
came =Little =Billy =Goat =Gruff.
 =Trip-trap! =Trip-trap! 
went the bridge.

 Who is that tripping
across my bridge?  roared the =Troll.

 It is I, =Little =Billy =Goat =Gruff, 
said =Little =Billy =Goat =Gruff.
 I'm going across the bridge
to eat grass. 
 Now =I'm coming to gobble you
said the =Troll.

 Oh, no, please don't take me.
I'm too little, 
said =Little =Billy =Goat =Gruff.
 Wait for =Middle =Billy =Goat =Gruff.
He is bigger. 

 Well, be off with you, 
said the =Troll.



And there were animals on the farm.
There were chickens.
There were two cows.
There was a big dog.
And there was a little white kitten.

=Katy liked the kitten best.        
Each day she played with it.
That was fun, too.
One morning =Katy's mother said,
=Katy, we must go home tomorrow.
Soon it will be time for school. 

Oh, no!  said =Katy.
 I don't want to go home.
I don't want to leave the farm. 

=Grandmother said something funny.
 You don't have to leave
all of the farm,  she said.

=Katy looked at =Grandmother.
But =Grandmother only laughed.

 You could make a tent with this.

 Mother, may =Johnny and I have
blankets to sleep on?  asked =Billy.

 Blankets?  asked =Mother.

 Yes,  said =Billy.

 Hiccups are not funny,  said =Jack.

One, two, three, four, five.
Over! Over! Over! 

=But the boat did not go over.
It came down again on the water.
It came down hard, as it did before.
All the =Tooseys got very wet.



=Janet ran back into the house.
 Mother, maybe I will get some paints
after all,  she said.
 I saw =Ted and =Jane just now.
They are going to have
a birthday party.
They have four prizes.
If one of the prizes is paints,
maybe I can win that prize.
If there is a race, I may win it. 

 Maybe you will,  said her mother.
 Now we will want to get something
to give =Ted and =Jane. 


Which Color Will It Be?

 No, no, =Penny!  said =Janet.
 That yellow paint makes my playhouse look bad. 

 I like yellow,  said =Penny.
 It is a good color for a house.
Your house should have some paint.
I'll paint it for you.
It will look like a new house. 



Here Comes the Parade

=Andy had heard the circus band.
Now the parade was not far off.
And there he stood all alone!

First came the four circus horses.
Behind them came the circus band.
The band was what =Andy had heard.



 That wagon is too big
for that little string,  said =Jill.
 Why don't you use a strong rope?
Strong rope is better for that work.
Go back and get a strong rope.
Get some clean clothes, too.
You will want some clean clothes
to put on after your work is done. 

 I have all I can take,  said =Andy.
 I have shoes, blankets, and a pail. 

But =Andy went back for clean clothes
and a strong rope to use on the wagons.


As soon as the truck had gone,
=Ann got up on the wishing gate.
 I have never seen a wishing gate
before,  she said to herself.
 How can it make wishes come true?
I don't think it can.
But what if it could!
It's not like other gates.
I think I'll make one wish now.
Then the next time I come here
I'll make some more wishes.
Maybe one of the wishes
will come true. 



Away went all five of them to find
another house.

After they had gone a long way,
they came to a little yellow house.
 I like this house,  said Mrs =Blue.
 No one is here.
We will stop here. 



=PORCUPINE  Maybe he can fly.

At bed time =Little =Bear ran
to his little red bed.

There was a blue bed
for =Mother =Bear.
It was not as little
as the red bed.

There was a big black bed
for =Father =Bear.
One time =Mother =Bear
put porridge on the ~
The three bears sat down
to eat it.
But they could not eat the porridge.
It was too hot.

I will find out who is
in our house,  said =Father =Bear.

 I will look, too, 
called =Little =Bear to his father.
 No one is in here, 
said =Mother.

 And no one is in here,
said =Father =Bear.

 Look! Look here! 
called =Little =Bear.
 Look what I see! 
There, in the bed,
was pretty little =Goldilocks.

What will we do with her? 
asked =Father =Bear.

Then =Goldilocks sat up.
She saw the three bears.
She did not know what to do.



The children ran out of the house.
=Mother! =Mother!  they called.
Come and see our =Easter rabbit! 
=Me =Too had always wanted to be
an =Easter rabbit.

And now he was!
=Happy =Easter
from =Me =Too! 
He called as he hopped away.
One time there was a boy
who had a pretty white lamb.
The boy liked to play with his lamb.
And the lamb liked to run
and play, too.



But the big dog did not know
it was his shadow.
It looked like a big dog
down in the water.
This dog had a bone, too.

For a long time he looked down
at the dog.
Then he said,  Down there
is a big dog with a bone.
I will get that bone, too. 
He opened his    to get it.
Down into the water
went the big dog's bone.

He could not get it
out of the water.
So the big dog had to go home
with no bone at all.



Soon a =teeny-tiny voice
that was not so =teeny-tiny
called out,
GIVE ME MY BONE! 

This made the =teny-tiny 
jump out of her =teeny-tiny bed.

Who is it?  she called in a =teeny-tiny voice.
Who is it?  she asked in a -teeny-tiny voice.

But no one was there. 
Then she ran to her bed.
She jumped into it and put
her   way down.
She did not want the voice
to find her.

Can you put the rabbit

Then I can get him up here,

The Hungry Lion

Once upon a time there was a big
lion who lived in a cage at the zoo.
One day, he was very hungry. When
the =Keeper gave him his dinner, he ate
it up with one gulp of his big mouth.
Quite by mistake he ate up the
=Keeper, too.
For a time, the =Keeper was not
missed. The four other =Keepers sat
down to lunch. As they poured some
soup, they looked around the table
and said,  =Where is =Bill? 
They looked in the =Snake =House, 
and =Bill was not there.
They looked in the =Parrot =House, 
and =Bill was not there.
They looked in the =Tiger =House, 
and =Bill was not there.
They looked in the =Big =Bird =House
 and =Bill was not there.




=Hoot =Tooter was a small goblin
who lived in a drain pipe. The pipe
was in front of =Ronny =Hooper's home.
It was for rain water. It ran from
a pipe in the yard to the big drain
under the street. It was very dark and
dingy there.

=Hoot was an =oogle-google goblin.
=Hoot made a =google-oogle-glup-glup,
when the water ran down into the
pipe. Then away it goes to the street.

=Hoot, the goblin, lived in =Ronny's
water drain for a strange reason.
The =oo's in his name were the
same as those in =Ronny =Hooper's last
name. This was the first reason.

He also had a second reason for
living in the pipe, as you will soon
see.



same thing. But  don't think that
mice dance. At least, I've never seen
them!

that they are people. 
But =Lucy was little, and she was
getting tired.  Come on, =Nancy, let's
go and see the main part of the
circus,  =Lucy said.




One day, he went to meet them on
the hill. But the frisky billy goats
leaped over a rail into a turnip patch!
 I cannot get my goats,  said the
little lad. He sat on the rocky  
hillside and began to cry.
As he sat there, a fluffy white
rabbit came along.  Why do you cry? 
asked the fluffy rabbit.
 I must drive my billy goats back
home,   said the lad.   =But they will
not come from the turnip patch.
That is why  am crying. 
I'll lead them away,  said the
fluffy rabbit. So the rabbit tried, but
he had to give up. The billy goats
stayed in the turnip patch. Then the
fluffy rabbit sat on the rocky hillside
and began to cry.
Along came a lively red fox.  Why
do you cry?  asked the fox.
 This lad is crying. That is why
I am crying,  said the rabbit.  And
the lad cannot get his billy goats.



=Walt watched for small flames.
When he saw one, he squirted water
on it with the hose.
The fire blazed and hissed in one
patch. Then it flamed up in other
spots where the dried grass was thick.
At last, the two men stopped the
fire.
It had burned quite near the barn
and scorched it. But the barn did not
burn, and the horses and cows were
saved.
 What started the fire?  asked =Walt.
 Did you strike a match in the
weeds? 
No,  said =Jim.  I did not start it.
But  must not leave dried grass and
weeds so close to the barn. next time,
I will rake them into pile and burn
them far from the barn. 
=Jim thanked =Walt for helping him.
Then he started to rake  all the
dried grass and weeds that had not
burned.
 I must keep the barn safe,  he
said.  It is full of horses and cows and
oats and wheat. 



This mink came to the bank of the
lake where =Hank hunted for things to
eat. The mink dug a hole in the weeds
and hid in it.
When =Hank came to hunt for bugs,

him.
But =Hank saw the mink first. He
made his legs and wings go fast.
This mink did not scare =Hank. Hank
was a smart swan.

=Flop =Ears on the back with his stick.
But =Flop =Ears just sat in the dust. He
had thick skin.
 I cannot take =Flop =Ears to town
with me,  said =Tom.  He will not go
past such a deep hole? I think we
must go back home. 
Just then a man came down the
road. He sat down to chat with =Tom.
=Flop =Ears still sat in the dust.
 I can make the mule go past the
hole,  said the man.
 No, you cannot!  said =Tom.  If
you can make =Flop =Ears go past the
hole,  will give him to you. 
 Fine, fine,  said the man.  First,
I will fill the hole. Then I will drive
=Flop =Ears past it. 
The man put dirt in the hole and
drove the mule past it.  =Tom gave the
mule to the man and went home.
His wife told him he must get =Flop
=Ears back.  The man did not drive
the mule past a hole,  she said.  The
hole is full of dirt now. It is not a
hole at all. 




He put the eight boards down on
the grass. They made a large square.
Inside the square he placed the two
chairs. Then he said,  Oh,  have
forgotten =Judy,  and he ran down
into the cellar once more. When he
returned, he was carrying a little
stool which he placed beside the
chairs. On the other side of the
square he set up his blackboard. Just
then =Judy came back with =Jimmy

toys and the prices are beside each
name. Now you see that there are
many times when it is good to know
how to read. 
 Well,  said =Ralph,  what you are
saying is true. Uncle =Joseph gave me

I must know how to read before 
can tell how to glue it together. 
 But,  said =Mary,  you are wrong
if you think that you only read when
you need directions. Reading is fun,
too.
 Sometimes you read just because
you want to. Sometimes you read
because you want to know what is
happening in your town or city. You
may want to read about our favorite
baseball player in a newspaper or
magazine or book. 
Yes,  said =Ralph,  I'd like to know all about =Babe =Ruth. I think
he was the best baseball player. 
 Well,  said =Mary after school

library. I will show you where all the
books about baseball are kept. If you

for a library card. Then when you

The Ox and the Frog

Once a big ox was grazing in the
farmer's pasture.
A little frog sitting nearby saw the
big animal. The ox was the biggest
animal the frog had ever seen. He
was amazed at the size of it.
 I must hop home and tell =Father
=Frog about this,  he said. He hopped
past the farmer's house and lawn. He
hopped around stacks of hay and bits
of straw. He crawled under the wire
fence.

Along came the wolf. He said,
 =Little =Pig, let me come in. 
 No, no !   said the second little pig.
 Not by the hair of my  
chinny-chinchin. 
 Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and
I'll blow your house down,  said the
wolf. So he huffed and puffed and
puffed and huffed, and at last he
blew the house down. The two little
pigs ran down the road as fast as
they could.
At last they came to their brother's
brick house. Their brother let them in.

I'll blow your house down,  said the
wolf.
The wolf huffed and puffed and
puffed and =huffed, but the house did
not fall down.
When he found he could not blow
the house down, he said,  =Little =Pig, I
know where there is a field of nice
turnips.  



The bears had three chairs in their
house. One chair was big and strong.
Father =Bear sat in it. One chair was
middle-sized. It was for =Mother =Bear.
One chair was little. It was just the
right size for =Baby =Bear.
The bears had three beds in their
house. One was a big hard bed.
Father =Bear slept in it. One bed was
not so big and not so hard. Mother
=Bear slept in it. Then there was a
tiny soft bed for =Baby =Bear.
One day =Mother =Bear made a pot
of porridge. At supper time she took



year, haven't you? That's all I hear
about at dinner, most of the time. 
 =Today,  said =Freddie in an
important tone,   I have learned some
very interesting things in school. Now
I want to teach them to somebody
else. So please run across the yard
and call =Jimmy =Henderson and =Alfie
=Sparks. I want them to come over
to my school. 
 If I do, may I stay and watch,
too? 
 Well, all right. But you have to
pay attention and not make any
noise. Remember, it will be school! 
 I promise,  called =Judy, as she
ran across the big yard toward
=Jimmy =Henderson's house. He was
their next-door neighbor.
As soon as she was out of sight,
=Freddie said to himself,  I have it! 
He ran into his house. He went down
into the cellar where he made a great
commotion. When he came back up,
he was carrying a load of freight.
He had an old blackboard, some
chalk, and a handful of rags. He went
back down again and returned with
eight boards and two chairs.



She looked everywhere. She looked
in trees and bushes. She looked in
fields of clover and in fields of daisies.
She saw many pretty birds in the
fields and trees. But she could not
find a thunderbird.
Blue =Flower was disappointed.
 I'll ask =Sky =Chief about the
thunderbird,   said =Blue =Flower.   He
will know all about it. 
=Blue =Flower went to =Sky =Chief 
wigwam. Sky =Chief had the biggest
wigwam with the highest ceiling.
There were shields and pieces of
gold and silver along the walls
=Indian beads hung from the ceiling
=Sky =Chief sat in the center. He
was wearing his beautiful feather
headdress. He did not look fierce at all
  What do you wish, my niece?
asked =Sky =Chief.



So out of his cave into the bright
sunlight went the grizzly bear to
search for some food. He walked out
of the forest, past a running brook,
and across a green meadow.
Suddenly he stopped and twitched
his nose. Something good was being
cooked in the cabin where the game
warden lived.
The grizzly bear crept to the
window and saw the warden's wife
getting a meal ready. Spread out on



After some very busy days of
packing and loading, the family drove
off in their car. They drove out of
the cold and the deep snow, down
into the =South. They drove across
many states, until it became warm.
=Paul saw his first palm tree.
 Mother,  he asked,  may I climb a
palm tree? 
 =You may try, but you will find
that it does not have limbs like the
trees at home up =North. Its limbs
point up, and they have sharp spines



toys and the prices are beside each
name. Now you see that there are
many times when it is good to know
how to read. 
 Well,  said =Ralph,  what you are
saying is true. Uncle =Joseph gave me
a model airplane kit for my birthday.
I must know how to read before I
can tell how to glue it together. 
 But,  said =Mary,  you are wrong
if you think that you only read when
you need directions. Reading is fun,
too.
 Sometimes you read just because
you want to. Sometimes you read
because you want to know what is
happening in your town or city. You
may want to read about your favorite
baseball player in a newspaper or
magazine or book. 
 Yes,  said =Ralph,  I'd like to
know all about =Babe =Ruth. I think
he was the best baseball player. 
  Well,   said =Mary  after school
today I will take you to the town
library. I will show you where all the
books about baseball are kept. If you
want, you can even ask the librarian
for a library card. Then when you
know how to read, you can get all
the books you want. 



A Funny Christmas Present

=Philip =Anderson lived on =Spring
=Street in a small town called =Andover.
He was seven years old.
=Philip had a little sister. Her name
was =Phyllis. Phyllis was five years old.
On Christmas morning =Philip and
=Phyllis came running downstairs. They
were very excited because they wanted



 The Deer and the Hunter

It was a nice clear morning in the
forest. There was a little dew on the
ground, but a new sun was rising over
the trees.
A beautiful deer was drinking from
a pool. As he drew up the water, he
saw his reflection.
 Ah,  said he,  few animals in the
forest have such noble horns as mine.
What beautiful antlers! I only wish
I had legs more worthy to carry such
a noble crown of antlers. It is a pity
my legs grew so narrow and slim. 



There was once a very poor farmer
who had just one thing. It was a fat,
noisy, white goose.
One day when the farmer went to
the nest of his goose, he found an
egg that was a golden yellow hue.
It was shining and glittering in the
nest.
Perhaps this is a trick,  said the
farmer in a puzzled voice. But when
he lifted the egg, he saw that it was
not a trick. The egg was pure gold.
 Can this be true?  asked the farmer.
He was so filled with joy that he
sang a jolly tune.  Now I can sell
the egg and pay for food for me and
my wife,  he said happily.
The farmer went to the =Duke who
ruled the land and sold him the egg
of pure gold. Then the farmer used
the money the =Duke gave him for
food for his wife and himself.
The next morning when the farmer
went to the nest of his goose, he
found another egg of pure gold. And
every morning after that the same
thing happened. Every morning the
farmer found a shining golden egg in
the nest.



Over and over he called,   =Wolf,
wolf!  and he pointed to the forest.
What a fuss the boy made !
But the shepherd boy had annoyed
the villagers twice before. They did not
want to be fooled again. So not one of
them came out to join the boy. Not
one of them came to his aid.



Little Mouse

=Little mouse,
=Little mouse,
Go to sleep in your house.
The owl is a bed like the cow.
The moon has gone down
To take off her gown
And the sun will be up soon now.


A Little Red Apple

A little fall apple
All red, ripe, and round
Rolled into a puddle
When it fell to the ground.
The apple was able
To bobble and bound
And spin in the puddle
Around and around!




 I am the =oogle-google goblin. My
name is =Hoot =Tooter, and I am not
hurt. But I cannot be pulled any
farther from this pipe! 
=Ronny stood up and took a long
look down into the pipe. He did not
see very much, for it was very dingy
inside. So he said,  Why not? 
The tiny person replied,  My feet
are long and webby. They will
not come past the turn in the drain
pipe. The =Queen of the =Fairies put
me here for a month of punishment.
I am ashamed to tell you why. I was
not as good as she wanted me to be.
I was not as good as a good goblin
is supposed to be. And I was the
=Queen's favorite goblin, too. 
The tiny goblin looked down. He
seemed to be most ashamed of
himself.



=Lucy and =Nancy =Carlson were very
happy. They were going to the nearby
city after lunch.
A week before, the =Carlson family
had been together at lunch.   =Mother,
what shall we do for =Nancy's
birthday?  said Mr =Carlson.
Nancy said,  I have saved a dollar
and =fifty cents. I want to spend it
to celebrate my birthday.  She was
so excited that she waved the celery
that she had in her hand.
 Careful, dear,  said =Mother.  That
celery is not a stick for leading a
band. 
=Nancy smiled happily and stopped
waving her celery.
 Tell us where we are going to go
for =Nancy's birthday,  said =Lucy.


=Ted asked himself.  And will I miss
the best riding horse I ever had? 

=Ted rode all over the farm in his
car. It was not as much fun as riding
=Dark =Star.  A horse is better to ride
on a farm,  he said.  A car cannot go
over big bumps of dirt and logs. And a
car is not glad to see me when I go to
get it. 
One morning when =Ted drove to
the barn a horse was standing at the
barnyard gate. It was =Dark =Star.
=Ted was glad to see him. He was
glad to see =Ted, too.
=Ted was brushing =Dark =Star when
the horse's new master came up to
the gate.  =Dark =Star is a smart
horse,  said the man.  He lifted up a
bar that locked the gate and ran
from us. Do you want =Dark =Star
back? He runs too fast for me when I
ride him. I do not want to get hurt. 
 Yes, sir! I want him back,  said
=Ted.  You take the car and I will
keep =Dark =Star.  =Dark =Star is worth
more to me than all the cars in the
world. 



=Jim lived on a farm. He had horses
and cows in a big barn on his farm.
Once =Jim saw a fire burning near
his barn. He did not want his horses
and cows to be burned.  =Jim ran to see
what was burning. When he reached
the fire, he saw that it was burning
dried grass and weeds.
First, he ran into the barn to save
his horses and cows. He led them to a
safer part of the farm.



A Song of Spring

Spring is a time when all is fresh
And birds sing songs in the trees.
Spring is a time when roses bud
And bring sweet smells in the breeze.
Spring is a time when the leaves are
green
And the grass gets long and thick.
It is just the time to string up a kite
And go to fish in the creek.

Spring is a time when cow bells ring,
=Ding, =dong! =Ding, =dong! =Ding, =dong!
And tree frogs sing so strong and clear.
And the bees hum a buzzing song.

The Hungry Lion

Once upon a time there was a big
lion who lived in a cage at the zoo.
One day, he was very hungry. When
the =Keeper gave him his dinner, he ate
it up with one gulp of his big mouth.
Quite by mistake he ate up the
=Keeper, too.
For a time, the =Keeper was not
missed. The four other =Keepers sat
down to lunch. As they poured some
soup, they looked around the table
and said,  =Where is =Bill? 
They looked in the =Snake =House, 
and =Bill was not there.
They looked in the =Parrot =House, 
and =Bill was not there.
They looked in the =Tiger =House, 
and =Bill was not there.
They looked in the =Big =Bird =House
 and =Bill was not there.




=Hoot =Tooter was a small goblin
who lived in a drain pipe. The pipe
was in front of =Ronny =Hooper's home.
It was for rain water. It ran from
a pipe in the yard to the big drain
under the street. It was very dark and
dingy there.

=Hoot was an =oogle-google goblin.
=Hoot made a =google-oogle-glup-glup,
when the water ran down into the
pipe. Then away it goes to the street.

=Hoot, the goblin, lived in =Ronny's
water drain for a strange reason.
The =oo's in his name were the
same as those in =Ronny =Hooper's last
name. This was the first reason.
He also had a second reason for
living in the pipe, as you will soon
see.



same thing. But  don't think that
mice dance. At least, I've never seen
them! 
=Lucy said,   He's stopped pretending
that they are people. 
But =Lucy was little, and she was
getting tired.  Come on, =Nancy, let's
go and see the main part of the
circus,  =Lucy said.




One day, he went to meet them on
the hill. But the frisky billy goats
leaped over a rail into a turnip patch!
 I cannot get my goats,  said the
little lad. He sat on the rocky  
hillside and began to cry.
As he sat there, a fluffy white
rabbit came along.  Why do you cry? 
asked the fluffy rabbit.
 I must drive my billy goats back
home,   said the lad.   =But they will
not come from the turnip patch.
That is why  am crying. 
I'll lead them away,  said the
fluffy rabbit. So the rabbit tried, but
he had to give up. The billy goats
stayed in the turnip patch. Then the
fluffy rabbit sat on the rocky hillside
and began to cry.
Along came a lively red fox.  Why
do you cry?  asked the fox.
 This lad is crying. That is why
I am crying,  said the rabbit.  And
the lad cannot get his billy goats.



=Walt watched for small flames.
When he saw one, he squirted water
on it with the hose.
The fire blazed and hissed in one
patch. Then it flamed up in other
spots where the dried grass was thick.
At last, the two men stopped the
fire.
It had burned quite near the barn
and scorched it. But the barn did not
burn, and the horses and cows were
saved.
 What started the fire?  asked =Walt.
 Did you strike a match in the
weeds? 
No,  said =Jim.  I did not start it.
But  must not leave dried grass and
weeds so close to the barn. next time,
I will rake them into pile and burn
them far from the barn. 
=Jim thanked =Walt for helping him.
Then he started to rake  all the
dried grass and weeds that had not
burned.
 I must keep the barn safe,  he
said.  It is full of horses and cows and
oats and wheat. 



This mink came to the bank of the
lake where =Hank hunted for things to
eat. The mink dug a hole in the weeds
and hid in it.
When =Hank came to hunt for bugs,
the mink sprang into the lake to scare
him.
But =Hank saw the mink first. He
made his legs and wings go fast.
This mink did not scare =Hank. Hank
was a smart swan.

=Cling, =clang!
The bells rang
=Cling, =clong!
A wild song!

=Thump! =Thump! =Thump! =Tom hit
=Flop =Ears on the back with his stick.
But =Flop =Ears just sat in the dust. He
had thick skin.
 I cannot take =Flop =Ears to town
with me,  said =Tom.  He will not go
past such a deep hole? I think we
must go back home. 
Just then a man came down the
road. He sat down to chat with =Tom.
=Flop =Ears still sat in the dust.
 I can make the mule go past the
hole,  said the man.
 No, you cannot!  said =Tom.  If
you can make =Flop =Ears go past the
hole,  will give him to you. 
 Fine, fine,  said the man.  First,
I will fill the hole. Then I will drive
=Flop =Ears past it. 
The man put dirt in the hole and
drove the mule past it.  =Tom gave the
mule to the man and went home.
His wife told him he must get =Flop
=Ears back.  The man did not drive
the mule past a hole,  she said.  The
hole is full of dirt now. It is not a
hole at all. 




He put the eight boards down on
the grass. They made a large square.
Inside the square he placed the two
chairs. Then he said,  Oh,  have
forgotten =Judy,  and he ran down
into the cellar once more. When he
returned, he was carrying a little
stool which he placed beside the
chairs. On the other side of the
square he set up his blackboard. Just
then =Judy came back with =Jimmy

 Hi, =Jimmy; hi, =Alfie; have a seat

about our language.

The Ox and the Frog

Once a big ox was grazing in the
farmer's pasture.
A little frog sitting nearby saw the
big animal. The ox was the biggest
animal the frog had ever seen. He
was amazed at the size of it.
 I must hop home and tell =Father
=Frog about this,  he said. He hopped
past the farmer's house and lawn. He
hopped around stacks of hay and bits
of straw. He crawled under the wire
fence.

INVOKED THE 5X/1000 RULE FOR 'HUFF'

Along came the wolf. He said,
 =Little =Pig, let me come in. 
 No, no !   said the second little pig.
 Not by the hair of my  
chinny-chinchin. 
 Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and
I'll blow your house down,  said the
wolf. So he huffed and puffed and
puffed and huffed, and at last he
blew the house down. The two little
pigs ran down the road as fast as
they could.
At last they came to their brother's
brick house. Their brother let them in.
The wolf came and said,  =Little

=Dark =Star.  A horse is better to ride
on a farm,  he said.  A car cannot go
over big bumps of dirt and logs. And a
car is not glad to see me when I go to
get it. 
One morning when =Ted drove to
the barn a horse was standing at the
barnyard gate. It was =Dark =Star.
=Ted was glad to see him. He was
glad to see =Ted, too.
=Ted was brushing =Dark =Star when
the horse's new master came up to
the gate.  =Dark =Star is a smart
horse,  said the man.  He lifted up a
bar that locked the gate and ran
from us. Do you want =Dark =Star
back? He runs too fast for me when I
ride him. I do not want to get hurt. 
 Yes, sir! I want him back,  said
=Ted.  You take the car and I will
keep =Dark =Star.  =Dark =Star is worth
more to me than all the cars in the
world. 



=Jim lived on a farm. He had horses
and cows in a big barn on his farm.
Once =Jim saw a fire burning near
his barn. He did not want his horses
and cows to be burned.  =Jim ran to see
what was burning. When he reached
the fire, he saw that it was burning
dried grass and weeds.
First, he ran into the barn to save
his horses and cows. He led them to a
safer part of the farm.



A Song of Spring

Spring is a time when all is fresh
And birds sing songs in the trees.
Spring is a time when roses bud
And bring sweet smells in the breeze.
Spring is a time when the leaves are
green
And the grass gets long and thick.
It is just the time to string up a kite
And go to fish in the creek.

Spring is a time when cow bells ring,
=Ding, =dong! =Ding, =dong! =Ding, =dong!
And tree frogs sing so strong and clear.
And the bees hum a buzzing song.

Have you ever seen a pink swan?
Most swans are white, but this one is
more pink than white. His name is
=Hank. He has pink wings and a long,
slender, pink neck.
Hank likes to swim on the lake and
hunt for things to eat. He eats water
bugs and plants that he finds under
the water.



One day I saw a curly dog,
I met him with a bow;

No, =Nancy, his pistol makes a

The people become more excited than

But I must not leave dried grass and
weeds so close to the barn. Next time,

One day in the summer, the sun
was high and hot and beating straight
down on the pond. The silly family
of frogs decided that they were tired
of their leafy pond. They believed
that they would travel over the hill
to look for a bigger pond with more
shade.

in trees and bushes. She looked in
fields of clover and in fields of daisies.
She saw many pretty birds in the

Thinking it was another grizzly bear
with another meal of bread and
beefsteak, he made up his mind to
have that also. He meant just to snarl

mouth, the beefsteak and bread fell
out and dropped into the water.
The grizzly bear then knew that he
had lost the real meat and bread by
grasping at the reflection. Sadly he
walked away, for he had learned his
lesson.


And up the road he went again with      
his little red wagon.

The pumpkin went jump, jump,

The rabbit was gnawing on a carrot.

Just then Mr =Hurry came running in.
Mr =Willing said,  Oh, Mr =Hurry!
You can't give this farm to your boy.
Nothing is the right color. 

Mr =Hurry took one look at the farm.
Then he said,  This is a fine farm!
It's like the pictures my boy makes.
He paints things any color that he
thinks is pretty.
My boy will like this farm, and
so will his friends.
It will be the talk of the town. 

Let me think,  said Mrs =Pig.
 Once all five children came running
into the house with long sticks.
They called them stick horses!
They put the sticks under the beds.
Once they put on some of my shoes
and hats and went walking up the road.
=Penny =Pig had my new spring hat
on her head!
Right now the children are jumping
in that old wagon in the barnyard.
I must go stop them, and then
I must go to the store. 

Well, well!  said =Grandfather.
 You have not had an easy day.
You go on to the store now, and I'll
look after the children.
I'll have them come in the house
and look at television with me. 



Splash, splash! Splash, =splash went
=Patty =Duck's yellow boots.
Soon =Patty met a friend.
She called,  Hello, =Happy =Duck!
I think it is fun to splash in the rain. 

 I think so, too,  said =Happy =Duck.

=Splash, =splash! =Splash, =splash went
four yellow boots along the street.
Patty and =Happy met other friends.
Then there were boots of every color
=splashing along the street.


Soon a bird called to =Tom-Tom.
 Where are you going?  he asked.

 I'm going to town,  said the cat.
 I have to find a new home.
I don't want to live with =Billy =Blue.
He has lost his head.
There is just a big white thing
where =Billy's head was. 

Mr =Redbird looked down the road.
 I see something big and white
walking along the road,  he said.
 Maybe it is =Billy =Blue. 



Soon Mr =Rabbit came back
with =Grandmother =Hen.
Surprise ! Surprise ! Surprise !
called her friends.
Grandmother said,  Is this a party? 

Yes, it is,  said Mr =Rabbit.
 This morning you said that you
were going to move.
So this is a surprise party for you.
It is a going-away party. 



=Long =Tail Gets a Ride

=Bill =Downs said,  Here he comes!
Here comes =Long =Tail. 

=Dick said,  I'm glad I came
to the zoo with you, =Bill.
I wanted to see this. 

Mr =Downs said,  Now the men will
take =Long =Tail to his other home.
You will get to see that, too. 



Then =Jim let the basket down.
Out jumped the cat with her kitten.

=Nancy said,  Thank you, =Jim. 
Mrs =Parks said,  What an easy way
to get =White =Foot down!
Her family will be happy
to see her again. 

=Jim said,  I guess =White =Foot
wants to see her family, too.
Look at her run home
with that kitten !  


Soon =Dick and =Jane came
out of the barn on =Clown.
 That pig is out again!  said =Dick.
He jumped o~ the pony and helped
=Boots get the pig in the pen.
At last the children went for a ride.
When they came back, they saw
a black pig in the yard.
=Jane helped =Dick get it in the pen.
Then she went to the house.


Soon =Red went up three more steps
to get some more food.

After that the boys went all the way
up the steps with the food.
 Come on up here, =Red,  called =Billy.

This time =Red went all the way up
and began to eat.
 Good dog!  said =Pete.
 Now I can go down and look at =TV. 



After a time =Dick and his father
could eat no more.
 Come on, =Dick,  said his father.
 Let's put out the fire and go on
with our walk. 

=Dick helped put out the fire.
Then he looked for some
pretty stones to take home.

Soon he called,  =Father!
One stone is walking.
Oh, oh! This stone is a turtle!
I can take it home for a pet.
Finding a turtle is one more
good thing about this day. 


=Billy =March said,  My mother lets me
go out to play with no coat on.
Ball games and no coats show me
that spring is here. 

=Susan said,  I saw a mother bird
make her home in a tree.
The birds tell me it is spring.
Green trees do, too. 


=Patty was not happy.
She said,  =Oh dear! No, =Tim!
Don't hop up and down like that.
Get your toy and go to sleep. 
=Patty went on reading the rabbit story.
But soon she was not reading fast.
At last she was not reading at all.

Time for School
=Tom said,  =Mother, where is =Susan?
It is time for school.
=Dick and I want to go now. 

 You boys go on,  said =Mother.
 =Susan and Jane will come soon. 

=Mother said,  Come on, =Susan.
It is time for school.
=Jane is here to go with you. 

=Susan said,  I can't find my red shoes.
Here are my good black shoes.
But I can't find my school shoes.
Will you help me look for them? 

=Mother and =Susan looked and looked.
But they did not find the red shoes.

Time to Go Home

 Good-by, Miss =White!  said =Patty.
 I want to get home fast.
 want to read my new book. 

 Good-by, =Patty,  said Miss =White.
 Good-by, boys and girls.
 Have fun with your new books. 

 Good-by!  said the boys and girls.
 Good-by, Miss =White! 
 Then out they all went.

 No, no, =Sally!  said =Tom.
 Left foot first.
March the way I do.
Left foot! Right foot! Left foot! 

=Dick said,  Oh, =Tom!
=Sally is too little to know which foot
is her left one. 

=Tom said,  I know how to make
=Sally know which foot is which.
=Jane has something that will help. 

=Pete and =Tom came to look
at =Dick's chair.
=Pete said,  You will have to tell us
what to do, =Dick.
I don't know what we can make
with this chair. 

=Dick said,  I have something
that shows what we can make.
I'll go to the house and get it.
I'll be right back. 

=Dick ran to the house.

Then =Tom said to =Pete,  I know
how we can help =Dick.
He will want the legs on his chair.
Let's put them on now. 

=Tom and =Pete began to work fast.
Soon the last leg was on the chair.

=Sally and =Puff walked and walked.
At last =Sally wanted to go back home.
She looked up the street.
She looked down the street.
But she did not see her house.

 Oh, =Puff!  she said.
 Which way is home?
I don't know which way to go.
We are lost! 

=Billy put black in his picture.
He put in blue and red.
Then he put in green and yellow.
He worked and worked on his picture.

After a time Miss =Day came
to look at the children's work.
She said,  What pretty pictures!
I see green trees.
I see birds of all colors 
I see ball games and spring hats.
All of you have spring pictures. 

=Dick said,  See what I have, =Sally.
=Grandmother will soon put them
on the cake.
Then we can tell who it is for. 

=Dick looked up at his =Grandmother.
 I will hand them to you,  he said.
 Let me know when you want them. 

  Thank you,  said =Grandmother.
 Hand me just one. No more. 

Just then =Spot ran into the room.
He barked and barked at =Dick.
 Get away from me, =Spot,  said =Dick.
 I am trying to find my turtle. 

=Spot ran from the room, but he
came right back.
In and out of the room he ran.
He was barking all the time.
At last =Dick said,  Let's find out
why =Spot is barking. 

=Sally Wants to Help

  Oh dear !   said =Grandmother.
 The baby chickens must not be out
in the rain.
I must put them in the chicken house. 

=Dick said,  I could help.
I'll go with you, =Grandmother. 
Off ran =Grandmother and =Dick to get
the baby chickens out of the rain.

Mrs  =Parks said,  Dear me!
=White Foot must come down.
She can't be up there all night.
She must feed her four baby kittens. 

=Jim said,  I'll go up the tree.
Maybe I can get her down. 

=Jim got up in the tree.
But he did not get =WhiteFoot.
The cat ran on up the tree.

 Oh, =Jim,  said =Nancy.
 Please get =WhiteFoot! 

 I can't get her this way,  said =Jim.
 I'll have to try some other way. 

=Jim jumped down from the tree.
He said,  I know what to do.
I'll get some things from the barn.
=Nancy, you go and get a kitten. 

Soon after that, the =Parks family
went to the zoo to see =BrownPet.
There were many, many children
with her that morning.
But she walked away from them
and went over to see Jack and =Nancy.

 Oh, =BrownPet!  said Jack.
 You have many new friends here.
But you like your old friends, too. 

Soon Mr =Rabbit came back
with =Grandmother Hen.
  Surprise ! Surprise ! Surprise !  
called her friends.
=Grandmother said,  Is this a party? 

 Yes, it is,  said Mr =Rabbit.
 This morning you said that you
were going to move.
So this is a surprise party for you.
It is a going-away party. 

 Look down, =Tom-=Tom,  said the bird.
 Tell me what you see down there. 

The cat took one look and said,
 Oh! Oh my!
Now there is nothing left of =Billy!
No head! No legs!
Nothing is left of =BillyBlue.
I must find a new home in town. 

 Slow down,  said Mr =Redbird.
 Don't run away,=TomTom.
Stop and take another look. 

=Grandmother =Duck saw the little ducks
come splashing along.
So she asked them to come in.
 Come and have some cake,  she said.
 It's a fine day for splashing.
I think it's a fine day for you
to help me eat cake, too.
Take of your boots and come in. 

 Let me think,  said Mrs  =Pig.
 Once all five children came running
into the house with long sticks.
They called them stick horses!
They put the sticks under the beds.

The Talk of the Town

Once there was a funny little man
who had a toy store.
His name was Mr =Willing.
His store was the talk of the town.
He made all the toys for his store.
Mr =Willing worked all day, and he
worked late at night.
He was willing to make any toys
that the children in town wanted.


=DarkPony

Every night a pony came galloping
along the road to =SleepyTown.
His color was dark, and he came
just at dark.
So he was called =DarkPony.
Every night =DarkPony came
galloping along the road.
Galloping, galloping, galloping!

These children are
=Dick and =Dodie.
You will meet them in the first story
of this book. They take a trip
with their father and
see many different animals.
Can you guess where they go?
You will find out when you
read their story.
As you read =Wide =Horizons, =Book =One,
you will make other good friends.
Except for =Dexter, who is a dragon,
the friends you meet in these stories
are children your own age. They do
many of the same things that you do.


 This fruit looks good enough
for people to eat,  said =Dodie.
 It is good enough for people
to eat,  said the zoo keeper.  We
feed our animals the best food that
we can get. 



Next, the elephant put his trunk
into a pail of water. He drew the water
up into his trunk. Then he curled
his trunk under and put the water
into his mouth.
The elephant filled his trunk again.
Then he threw the water over his head.
He gave himself a shower!


Deer, =With or =Without =Horns

After a while, when =Dick and =Dodie
had seen many other animals
in the zoo, they came to the deer park.

A beautiful deer stood and looked
at them. The deer had tall horns.
These horns are called antlers.

This is a male deer called a stag, 
said =Father.  Once a year he loses
his antlers. Then he grows a new set.
Only the male deer has antlers. 



There was going to be a party
in the first grade, with a program
about children from other lands.
=Miki was chosen to be the boy
from =Japan. That was fine, the children
said, because =Miki really was a little boy
from =Japan. He didn't remember
anything about =Japan, though.



=Miki's heart was thumping
like a drum.
 Oh, =Mr =Kelly, could I call you
=Gramps, too?  he asked.
 Why, sure, you can call me =Gramps,
=Miki. I'd like that. 
 I'd like it, too!  said =Miki.
His eyes were shining.

 And =Gramps, oh, =Gramps,  he said,
 could you come to our school party
tomorrow? Grandparents are supposed
to come and I don't have any and
=Sara has four and I have a costume
and we're going to have ice cream



There was a lot more to say, but his
mother stopped him.
 Now, =Miki,  she said firmly,  that's
enough. Mr =Kelly is a busy man.
How could he come to your party? 



But the children often wished that
they had some kind of pet.

Two old pigs, =Albert and =Alice, lived
under a peach tree. They lived
in an old pigsty at the back
of the little house. But they were
no fun as pets. When they were not
eating, they just liked to sleep
in the sun.


When =Beanblossom got too big
for the box, =Danny put her outside
at night with the baby pigs. She
seemed very happy to be there.
After all, they were her playmates
all day. And =Alice and =Albert did not
mind a bit.



=Dexter was a dragon
with a green, scaly body and
a long, twisty tail. He had
short, knobby legs. He had
wings like a bat's, which he
would be able to fly with
when he was older.


=Dexter reached out and gobbled
some. =Crunch, =crunch, =smack, =gobble,
gulp.   =Mmm ! Good !   said =Dexter.

Soon the popcorn on the ground was
all gone. =Dexter wanted some more.
He stood on his hind legs and pulled
the husks of an ear of corn
on a cornstalk.
Then, very carefully, he breathed
his hot breath on the ear of corn.
Pop went the corn. Pop, pop, pop, pop!
The crisp white kernels fell
in a shower.



=Dexter stopped blowing smoke.
He thought, I don't want them to go
home.
He said loudly,  Oh, I guess I won't
blow plain smoke any more. I think
I will blow smoke rings! 
He stuck his head straight up
in the air and blew smoke rings.

The other animals just had to watch
=Dexter blow smoke rings. They moved
back a little so they wouldn't get
scorched. They watched till they were
so envious they could hardly stand it.

A Fine Day for the Zoo

=Dick and =Dodie live in a city. It is
not a big city. It is not a small city.
It is a city just large enough to have
a zoo with many wonderful animals
in it.
The animals come from many parts
of the world.

 It's a sunny day,  said =Father
one afternoon.  Who would like to go
to the zoo? 
 I would! I would!  cried =Dick and
=Dodie together.
 Not I,  said their mother.
 We are having company for dinner.
I shall stay home and cook. 

Off to the zoo went =Dick, =Dodie, and
=Father in their car.


Soon it was lunchtime
for the monkeys. The zoo keeper
brought bowls of fruits and nuts.
Monkeys eat fruits and nuts
when they live in the jungle.
they like the same things to eat
when they live in the zoo.
 This fruit looks good enough
for people to eat,  said =Dodie.
 It is good enough for people
to eat,  said the zoo keeper.  We
feed our animals the best food that
we can get. 



Giraffe, The Tallest Animal. 

=Dick and =Dodie had to look
up, Up, UP to see the top
of the next animal. It was
a giraffe.
 I would hate to be a giraffe
with a sore throat,  said =Dodie.
 See how long his neck is. 

The giraffe is the tallest
of all the animals in the world.
His long neck helps him reach
his food. He eats leaves
from some of the tallest trees
in =Africa.


The giraffe's long tongue helps him
get his food. He puts his tongue out,
gets hold of a leaf, and brings it
to his mouth.

You may have heard someone say that
the giraffe has no voice. This is not
really true. A mother giraffe
is sometimes heard calling her baby.
She makes a =moo sound.

=Miki lived in =NewYorkCity
above his father's flower shop.
And you can invite your grandparents
to the party, children,  the teacher said.
The children were very happy
about this, all except =Miki =Takino.
Some of the children
had four grandparents.
Others had two or three.
But =Miki had none.
They had died before he was born.
When =Miki got home from school
that day, his mother was working
at the sewing machine. =Miki told her
about the party, and she sighed and
patted his head.

Don't worry, =Miki. Your father and
I will be there. And I know you will be
a wonderful little =Japanese boy. 
She laid a piece of lace on the pink
material, and =Miki knew that she didn't
want to talk any more.


Tomorrow at seven finally came.
Behind the stage of the school auditorium
were the children in =Miki's class,
dressed in costumes of other lands.
=Miki wondered if =Mr =Kelly was out
in front with his mother and father.
Had he really come?
The piano was playing, and
the children were watching their teacher,
=Miss =Prentiss. There was singing
and dancing. =Sara was =Miki's partner.
She was dressed like a =Dutch girl.
It was so exciting being on the stage,
=Miki almost wished that the time
for ice cream would never come.



So at last the children had some pets. Anyway,
the girls did. Little funny, squeally pets they could
play with. Each little girl took one piglet and it after
after herself  =Annie, =Betsy, and =Cary.
The girls ran
with the pigs and fed them
sugar cookies. They washed
the pigs in sudsy water
in the sun. They even tied
rainbow-colored hair ribbons
on the pigs curly tails.
They dressed the pigs
in doll clothes and
rocked them to sleep.



 That lamb would take nearly
as much care as a real baby,  said
=Andrew.  Your mother does not have
time to take care of a lamb. 
 I'll tend to it, =Andrew,  said =Danny
eagerly.  I'll do everything. 
 All right,  said =Andrew.  I'll let
you take it. 
The lamb was all =Danny's. The only
thing his mother did was to give =Danny
an old baby bottle. He found a box
and put one of his own clean shirts
in it for the lamb to lie on.
=Danny named the lamb =Beanblossom,
and she loved him with all her heart.
As soon as she grew strong enough,
she followed him everywhere.


=Dexter could hardly believe it.
He sat still and breathed hard.
Sure enough, smoke was coming out
of his mouth.
=Dexter cried,  I never knew I could
blow smoke! 

He ran to his mother, panting for joy.
He shouted,  =Look at me
blowing smoke! 

He ran to the edge of the river
where he could see himself in the water.
He said,  Just look at that smoke! 
He thought, I'm going to show
the other animals how I can blow
smoke !


Pretty soon the giraffe slipped
quietly away and hid behind a rock.
He said,  =Whoof,  trying to blow smoke
like =Dexter. But he couldn't do it.

Then the zebra ran off and
disappeared over a hill. He said,
=Whh,  and  =Whh,  trying to blow
smoke like =Dexter.
But the zebra couldn't do it.

Finally the elephant said,  =Good-by,
I have to go.  He trotted into the wood
and went,  =Whoo, =whoo, =whoo, 
trying to blow smoke like =Dexter.
But he couldn't.
So he said,  =Pooh! Who wants
to blow smoke! 



When =Dexter saw the other animals
actually going, he stopped blowing
smoke rings. Suddenly he remembered
that he wanted someone to play with.
He called out hopefully,  Want me
to come with you? 
The giraffe said no, they didn't.

=Dexter watched them go. Then he
went home and said to his mother
in a forlorn voice,  I haven't got
anything to do. 
His mother said,
Blow some smoke. 
I don't feel like it, 
said =Dexter.
His mother said,  =Go play
with the other animals. 
They won't play with me,
said =Dexter.
Then you must have been
showing off,  his mother said.


=Dexter reached out and gobbled
some. Crunch, crunch, smack, gobble,
gulp.  =Mmm! Good!  said =Dexter.

Soon the popcorn on the ground was
all gone.  =Dexter wanted some more.
He stood on his hind legs and pulled
the husks off an ear of corn
on a cornstalk.
Then, very carefully, he breathed
his hot breath on the ear of corn.
Pop went the corn. Pop, pop, pop, pop!
The crisp white kernels fell
in a shower.

=Dexter moved eagerly
along the row of cornstalks
to a new place and quickly
pulled off some of the husks.
His hot breath started to pop
the corn. The popcorn fell
all around. The animals
crunched and munched.
Soon the popcorn was gone.

=Dexter said quickly,
for fear they would go away,
 I'll pop some more
if you want.

The Greatest Machine in the World

A junk truck went over a bump in the street.
It dumped a lot of junk right in front of =Nick
and =Henry.
 Wow!  said =Nick.  It's great junk. 
 Let's pick it up and get to work,  said
=Henry.
 Get to work?  asked =Nick.  Get to
work on what? 
 On a machine,  said =Henry.  We're
going to build the greatest machine in the
world. 

NOISE

A girl was helping her mother set the
table. All at once the dishes rattled. The
table shook. The girl jumped. What had happened?
The girl lived near an airport. A jet
airplane had taken off. The sound of the
airplane shook the house.


Hello, Mr =Pool.
Aren't you the children who bought the
=MechanicalHelper yesterday?
Yes, we are.
We want you to take it back.
Why? Didn't the robot work?
Oh, it worked all right. But our
mother didn't like it. She said we have
to learn to pick up our own things.
Very well. I'll give your money
back to you. We're back.
So I see. You've come to tell me how
much you like the =MechanicalHelper!
We don't like it at all.
You don't like it! Why not?
Well, when we pick up things from th,
floor, we put them where they belong
But the robot throws everything in the
wastebasket.
It threw away my paper dolls.
It threw away my pajamas.
Very well. I'll give your money back.


Just then =Mama and the three little fish saw
a crack in the big, green thing. Something
was coming out of the crack!
 Look,  said =Spink, =Spank, and =Spunk.  It
is a dinosaur! 
 No, no, no!  said a voice.  I'm just
Mr =Jellyfish. I was on my way to a party
dressed as a dinosaur egg. I was going to jump
out of the egg at the party and scare everybody.
But I got stuck in the mud. I had to sit and wait
for someone to save me. Thanks for helping. 
 Thank me,  said =Spunk.

 I see it!  said =Mama.  And it's not a
dinosaur egg. It's a watermelon. Some people
who are camping nearby put the watermelon in
the water to keep it cool. 
 =Ohhhhh,  said the three little fish.  How
silly we have been. 

Maybe you can think of another way to
end this story. Try it.

=Fish by =AdrienStoutenburg

A fish is hard to hold onto
for he has no handles.
He is smooth almost everywhere
and he tries to swim away in your hand.
Only his fins are sharp
and the cold edges of his face;
if they touch you,
it feels like holding green, fast water
with tacks in it.


Aloha,  said =Paka'a when he had finished
his mat.  Thank you for helping me. 
 Aloha,  said the woman.  Come back again. 
=Paka'a went to find two poles to hold his
mat. He tied the mat to the poles and
took them to his canoe. He tied them to the
canoe over and over again. He learned to tie
them just the way they had been in his dream.
The next day =Paka'a went out fishing with the
men of the island. His canoe looked like the
other canoes. But his mat and poles were right
by his side.
When the canoes were far out in the water,
=Paka'a threw out the big fishing net. Then he
pulled the net in and began to fill his canoe
with fish.
At last it was time to stop fishing. The men
turned their canoes and began to paddle home.
 Aloha, =Paka'a,  called a man.  You are not
big enough to paddle a canoe filled with fish. 
=Paka'a said,  I will get home faster than you. 
 Well, then!  called another man.  Do you
want to race?
 Yes,  said =Paka'a.  Let us all race and see
who wins. 
=Paka'a pulled out the two poles and his mat.
He tied them in place. Then he sat back and
let the wind do the work.


Of course =Sammy began to laugh. Then
he began to wiggle. He laughed and he
wiggled, and he wiggled and he laughed.
He laughed so hard and wiggled so fast
that he jumped high into the air.
When he came down, the knot was
untied! He had wiggled right out of it.
 Thank you, little bird,  said =Sammy.
 I'll never try that again. 
=Sammy still likes to show off.
He stands on his head.
He wears silly hats.
He makes funny faces.
He will do anything to make the other
snakes look at him. But he never ties
himself into knots. Never. Never.
Well, almost never!
You will need a rope about three feet long.
These pictures show how to tie the square
knot. Look at one picture at a time. Do
what it shows.
Only the ends of the rope are shown.
They are different colors to help you see how
the knot is tied.

Around and down you go on this giant slide in =India.
 my name is =Anna, My husband's name is =Albert,
I come from =Alaska,
And we sell apples.

 my name is =Betty,
My husband's name is =Bob,
I come from =Boston,
And we sell bottles.

 my name is =Clara,
My husband's name is =Carl,
I come from =Canada,
And we sell cats.


The Girl and the Pail of Milk
A Fable by =Aesop

I'll sell this milk
for lots of money.
Then I'll buy some eggs
that will hatch into
chickens.
Then I'll sell the chickens
and buy a beautiful dress!
The boys will all
want to dance with me.
The girls will all
be mad at me.
But I won't care at all,
at all !
I'll just laugh and
toss my head, like this!
Oh, no !
No milk!
No eggs!
No chickens!
No dress!
Moral,  Don't count your chickens before
they are hatched.


At last =Maria got all the way to the top
of the steps. =Pedro and =Ricardo were
jumping up and down inside the door.
=Maria ! =Maria !   cried =Ricardo.
=Grandma left a game for us to play! 
=Maria said,  I don't want
Look!  said =Pedro.  Here is a note
from =Grandma. Read it. 
=Maria looked at the note.
 Look inside the what,  asked Maria?
 It's a game,  said =Ricardo.  Go on.
Do what the note says. 
What in the world could that be, asked Maria?
She thought for a long time.
 My blue blanket,   she cried?
=Maria ran to the bedroom and picked up
her blanket. But nothing fell out.
=Maria put the blanket back on the bed.
Then she thought again about =BB
Suddenly =Pedro said, I'm hungry.
I want some bread and jelly. 
=Maria said,  Oh, =Pedro, not now. I'm
trying to think. 
But she went to take the bread out of the
bread box.
 A note,   she cried!  Here in the bread
box !  
Pedro laughed. I know,  he said. I put it there. I don't really
want bread and  jelly. I just wanted to help you. 


So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball,
And don't ever sneeze !

Early Men
The first men lived in caves many thousands
of years ago. Then men learned how to make
mud huts. They began to live together
in villages.
These men made many tools of sharp stones.
They were the first to tame wild dogs. Then
they tamed goats, sheep, cattle, and pigs.
These men found seeds and learned how to
grow plants. They learned to make cloth.
They learned to make cooking pots and dishes.


 The soup will be thin this time,  the young
man told her.  I've been making soup with
the same stone all week. I wish I had a little
flour to put in the pot.
But I'll do without it.
Think no more about it. 
 I may have a scrap of flour somewhere, 
said the old woman. She went to get it.
The young man put the flour into the soup.
He went on stirring it around and around.
 This soup could be good enough for
company,  said the young man.  It only
needs a bit of meat and a few potatoes.
But I'll do without it.
Think no more about it. 
The old woman thought it over. I might
have just a bit of each,  she said. She was
back in a minute with some meat and a few
potatoes. And the young man stirred them
into the soup.
 This soup will be so good, we could ask
the king to have a dish of it,  he said.
 The king eats stone soup every night.
I know because I used to be the king's cook
he told the old woman.
 Well, I never,  she cried!. She thought
the young man was wonderful.
I wish we had a drop of milk and a
little barley now,  said the young man.
 But I'll do without it.
Think no more about it.

"Can't you read?" asked the
policeman.
"Didn't you see the sign back there?"

"What sign?" asked =Dad.

=Eddie said, "That's the one I could
read. It said STOP!"

"You're right," said the policeman.
"Now, don't let your dad miss
any more stop signs.
Have a good trip!"

Mr =Lee said, "What a pretty
little aunt!
I had a little aunt when I was a boy.
I called her my pocket-aunt.
I liked her.
All the other boys wanted
a pocket-aunt like mine."

Then =Billy saw Mrs =Day looking out of
her window.

He thought, Mrs =Day might like this puppy.
She is all alone. Oh! She wouldn't want him."

=Billy started home again.
Then he walked back and
rang Mrs =Day's bell.
Mrs =Day opened the door.
=Billy said, I'm not selling doughnuts.

I found him in a box by your fence."

Mrs =Day took the puppy in her arms.
She asked, "Are you sure you found him?"

"Oh, yes!" answered =Billy.

Then a man came out of the manhole.
He ran down the street.

It's just a tooth!" called =Joey.
But no one heard him.

People came running from all over.
A big fire truck came around the corner.
Then another truck pulled up.

And =Pegleg had fun in the pigpen.



=Peg the pig ran to a pit.
It was a big pit.
A nut was in it.

The cats in the box began to fuss and hiss.
Miss =Hull got up.
The box of cats fell!
=Muff, =Cuff, =Huff, =Puff, =Ruff, and =ENuff

Miss =Hull and =Jeff =Wells began to yell.
The bus man began to yell!
It was a mess!
The six cats ran zigzag on the bus.
 I cannot run the bus!  said the bus man.
 Rags and the cats CANNOT run in my bus,
and the bus has to go! 
So =Rags sat.
And the cats sat.
=Jeff =Wells said to the bus man,
 Run the bus to the top of the hill.
Go to the =Red =Mill =Inn, and I will get

The bobsled began to slip.
It began to go fast.

the big sled went on and on.  The bobsled
can't stop!

The ducks began to get big.
And they did not just sit on the sand.
They got in back of =Mom =Duck and went to
the pond.  Go for a swim,  said =Mom =Duck.
So the ducks began to step into the pond.
But not the last duck.
She would not go into the pond.
The rest of the ducks swam.
But the last duck just sat.
I would swim if I could.
But I know I can't,  she said to herself.
She was sad.
The rest of the ducks swam up to her.
They said,  =Ducks swim in ponds.
You must swim if you are a duck. 
The last duck said,
What have I got to know, so I can swim? 
But the rest of the ducks could not tell
her what she had to know. They said,
Just jump into the pond and swim. 
But the last duck just sat on the sand.



=Bill sat on a log. He would not sit in
the sun.
=Russ said to him,  =Bill, you should get
off the log and sit in the sun. If you
would sit in the sun, you could get a
suntan. 
On a bump on a log
Was a fat, red elf.
He sat on the log
Just to rest himself.

His cap was a sack,
And his pants had rips.
And the elf, as he sat,
Put his hands on his hips.



The hotdog grill
At the end of the block
Has lots of smells
And a big glass clock.

Cliff =Black is the man
Who runs the grill.
He grins at me
As I know he will. 
He spills some stuff
On a hotdog bun
And sticks in a dog.
Next comes the fun!

My hand grabs the bun,
And my lips go smack!
In six big gulps
I have had my snack.


=Cling-clang-cling! =Cling-clang-cling!
The bell began to ring.
We want the king. 
But he was on a swing.
=Cling-clang-cling! =Cling-clang-cling!

=Wing-a-zing-a-zing!
If I am the king,
Why shouldn't I swing
As I sit and sing?
=Wing-a-zing-a-zing! 
 =Ting-a-ling
You are a king!
You must not sing!
You must not swing!
=Ting-a-ling-ling! 

=Wing-a-zing-a-zing!
Let's have the bell ring.
For it's fun to sing.
And it's fun to swing!
=Wing-a-zing-a-zing! 

=Cling-a-clang-clinging,
The bell is still ringing.
The swing is still swinging!
The king is still singing,
Still =wing-a-zing-zinging!



Can you chop up a cobweb? 
said =Beth.
Well,  =Chuck said,  I want =Mother
to fix me a cobweb sandwich
and one bunch of frogs wings. 
=Beth began to grin.  Would you
want to add a bunch of tin figs
to that lunch?  she said.
That would be swell,  =Chuck said.
Can you think of any other things?
=Beth began to think, and at
last she said,  Yes, I think I'd
add a pinch of fresh mist. You're
next, =Chuck. 
 I'd wish for a box of =huffs
and =puffs,  =Chuck said.  And an
inch of hot red and black dots. 
=Beth said,  I have another! I want pink
ranch punch and a chest of sunset chips! 



=King =Gruff kept a bell on
his desk. If he rang it, a man
would dash in to ask,  What
is your wish? Can I help you,
my king? The man would kiss the king's
ring, as the king had said he must
do. The king would clap his hands
and men would come rushing in to do
what he said.
Yet =King =Gruff was a sad man.
As fast as his men were, the king
would get mad and yell at them.
He would smash his fist on his desk.
And he would bang on his bell. The
king's men would do as the king said, 
but they were not fond of him. They
left the king to himself.
As the gruff king sat by himself,
he said,  Men will jump if I yell.
They will rush in to me if I ring my
bell. They do what I wish, but still
I don't get what I want. My men have
left me. Not a man is a pal to me.
I don't know what to do.  The king didn't
know he was so gruff.



=Frank and =Hank =Elf said,  Yes, =Mom.
We'll sit. We'll rest, and have some
fun, in the jug. 
 Not me!  said =Sam =Elf.  I don't want
to rest. I want to jump and run. I can't
jump and run here in the jug. It isn't
any fun in here. I'm big! I want to go! 
But =Mom =Elf said,  No, no, =Sam.
You're not big yet. You mustn't go. 
=Sam =Elf was sad. But =Mom =Elf left.
She went skipping off to get the milk.
=Hank =Elf got into his bunk bed, and
in a wink he was napping. But =Sam =Elf
did not. He got up to the neck of
the jug.
 Sam =Elf, you come back!  said
=Frank.  You know you will get a
spanking. 
=Sam =Elf sat on the neck of the jug
and said to himself,  At last! At last!
At last I can run and jump!  =Plunk!
He had left the jug.

=Mother and =Dad Go Away

Read this,  said =Dad to =Mother.
My brother is hurt.
This is not good.
You and I will have to help
My brother's family.
We will go in the morning. 

Can I go?  said =Susan.
What will =Bill and =Nancy and I do? 

=Bill said,  =Nancy and I will go
school. What will =Susan do? 

We will do something,  said =Mother.
I called Miss =Green,  said =Mother.
 =Susan will go to her house.
=Bill and =Nancy will go after school. 

=Bill said,  Miss =Green will sit
with Baby =Susan. 

I am not a baby,  said =Susan.
I like Miss =Green.
I will eat and play and work with her. 

Come on, =Susan,  said =Dad.
I will take you and =Spotty and =Red
to Miss =Green's house. 


=Susan ran to =Mother and =Dad.
=Bill walked up to =LittleJack.
You and I can play, =Jack,  said =Bill.

It is good to see you all, 
said =Mother.

=Uncle =Jack's boy came with =Mother
and me,  said =Dad to Miss =Green.
He can play with the children. 

This is a good Sunday,  said =Nancy.
Now we can go home. 

The children thanked Miss =Green,
and they all went home.
Two in One

=Cooky walked down =School Street
as =Jack came up.
The two went to the bus stop.
=Cooky looked at =Jack and laughed.

I want to make money,  said =Jack.
I want to help my dad.
This is a good drink.
I will get money for it
as soon as the bus stops. 

This is funny,  said =Cooky.
I want money to take a bus to town.
A parade will be in town on Sunday,
and I want to see it. 

Two Surprises

=Mother's dad looked in.
May I help?  he asked.

No, thank you,  said =Bill.

=Grandad said,  =Nancy,
may I help you? 

Sit here by me =Grandad.
I can get down here and clean.
You are too old to get down
like this and clean,  said =Nancy.
=Grandad did not sit down.
He wanted to help the family.
He saw =Mother put all the shoes
on the bed.
As he looked at the shoes,
he saw what to do.
Now he was ready to work, too.

 I am not too old to work, 
=Grandad thought.
Day after day I worked on shoes.
I helped make old ones look like new.
I will surprise this family. 



Two Boys Have Fun

Look, a new penny!  said =Nancy.
 I went out to get the milk and
saw the penny in a hole. 

=Bill looked at the penny, and
then he looked at =Jack.
He wanted to have fun with =Nancy.
He said,  Take it with you all day,
and you will get what you want.
It is good luck to find a new penny.
Your new penny is a good-luck penny. 
 Here is a little bag,  said =Jack.
 Put your good-luck penny in it. 

 Thank you, =Jack,  said =Nancy.
 I wanted a bag for the penny, and
now I have one.
This good-luck penny works.
I may get many things I want.
First I want to play with the big girls.
They tell me I am too little to play
what they play. 

=Nancy put the good-luck penny
in the bag and ran up the street.


 =Mother,  said =May.
 Are you looking for something, too?
We cannot find my shoes. 

 Yes,  said =Mother.
 I am looking for =Dad's old shoes.
He wants me to take the shoes
to town. 

=Nancy said,  This is not funny now.
No one in this house can find shoes.
What will you do? 
May looked at her baby brother
and thought of something.
Then she asked =Nancy for her shoe

 Here they are,  said =Nancy.
 Now, what will you do? 

 You will see,  said May.

=May put =Nancy's shoes down
and called her baby brother.
He saw the shoes and looked happy.
Soon he walked away with one
of the shoes.

 Now the surprise cake is ready,
too,  said =Mother.
 See me take it out. 

=Susan was surprised.
 See what you did!  she said.
 You put the up side down.
Put this side up. 

=Mother laughed and said,
 This is called upside down cake.
Go out and skate now,
and soon I will call you.
Then you will find out how good
upside down cake can be. 
=Susan did not want to skate alone.
She wished =Nancy could be home.

She saw =Red and =Spotty, but
she did not want to play with them.
She was hungry and thought of
=Mother's upside down cake.
At last she sat down and thought of
upside down things.
She sat and sat and sat.
Soon =Susan's pets
sat down with her.
But she did not see them.


The boys and girls went to hide.
Soon they were ready, and
=Cherry came to look for them.

One by one all but =Ted came in.
=Cherry had to look and look for him.

At last she saw him in the garden.
Then she called,  I see you, =Ted!
You are in the garden.
Now you must run to the house,
but I will get there first. 
=Cherry ran as fast as she could.
Then she was surprised.
There was =Ted at the house.

Is this magic?  thought =Cherry.
Did he fly to the house?
I ran as fast as I could, but
he was there first.

Then =Cherry said to him,
Are you magic?
Next time I will not call to you.
I will just run to the house. 

The man saw =Red jump into the
yellow car.
 Get out,  he called.
 You may not stay in my car.
You must have money to ride with me. 

=Red did not have money, but
he liked this yellow car.
He just sat in the back and looked.

Then the man went in to get Red.
He saw something and thought,
I will have some fun.
=Red may stay in my car. 
The children were looking for =Red.
They were surprised when they saw him
in the back of the big yellow car.
 How did he get in there? 
thought =Bill.
 It is not our car.
Did he run away from home? 

 =Mother! =Mother!  called =Nancy.
=Red is back.
He came home in a big yellow car. 

As soon as the car came to a stop,
Red jumped out.
He was happy to be home and
did not want to stay in the car.


=WhiteCat stayed up, so
=Hide-Away played alone.
He had a good time
standing on =Ted's skates.
Then he ran back of his box to hide.

Just then the twins came in.
They were surprised to see =WhiteCat.
They took one look at him and said,
 Get down and stay down!
You will make holes there.
Then =Mother will have work to do. 
White Cat jumped down and ran out.
Then he sat down and thought,
 I was a happy cat in this house.
Now =Hide-Away lives here,
and I am not happy.
Hide-Away has too many tricks.
He drinks my milk and takes my ball.
He runs after me and
makes me jump on things.
Then he hides when the boys come.
I wish he did not live here.

 I know what I will do.
I will run away from home,
and I will not come back.
Then he cannot play his tricks on me. 



Please, =Dad, take me with you.
I can help find things to eat for our family.
You stay home with =Mother.
You are not ready for night work.
It is cold out, and this is no picnic.
I am big like this mouse and
can do big things, too.
I will get my coat and go out.
=Mother will not miss me
if I get back soon.
This is fun. I can jump
from one side to the other.
Soon I will go to the house.
I will look for some
lemon cake.
Down there is =Spotty with her baby
Now I am going to have some fun.
I will hold the tack like this.
When she gets here, I will let
it go and run.



The other children and Miss =White
liked =Cherry's thought.
They wanted to help the new children,
so they all went to see the school.

 I know what we do here,  said =Ted.
 This is where we eat lunch.
We walk up there to get a hot lunch.
We had a lunchroom in my old school,
but it was a big one. 

 I wish I had found this room
when I was lost,  said =Penny.
 I would have stayed in here. 
Next the children saw a big room.
 Sometimes we play in here,  said =May.
 Sometimes we come in to see children
from some other room put on a show. 

 It is fun to walk up here, 
said Miss =White.
 Come up this way, and then
we will go down over there. 

 In our old school we could go
down a back way,  said =Ted.
 Come, =Ned, let us go behind this
and see if there is a back way here. 

When =Nancy came back, the children
stood up to see her good book.
They all talked at one time because
each one wanted to ask about the book.

 Can a bus cry?  asked =Ted.
 Who would hurt a bus? 

 Who is on the truck?  asked May.
 Will the truck cry, too? 

As the children talked and talked,
Miss =White turned to Miss =Little.
 This is very funny,  she said.
 Do you know who thought that books
would help children to be quiet?
It was =Nancy. 
Happy Again

One time a happy little bus named
Run-About lived in a big town.
Each day he went about the town
doing what he could to help.
First he took many dads to work
and some mothers to stores.
Then he had time to do the work
he liked best.

Up and down he went to get children
who wanted to ride with him.
He liked them best because
he could laugh and talk with them.
So they all had fun as they went
along the streets of the town.


A Surprise That Came Down

The children laughed and talked
as they walked home from school.

 I wish it were Sunday now, said =Nancy.
 I want to go to Big =Bill's picnic. 

 Airplane picnics are new to me, 
said =Ted.
 What will we do at Big =Bill's house? 

 No one can tell,  said =Cooky.
 =BigBill's picnics are all big surprises. 
When Sunday came, children fro
all over town went to see =BigBill.
=BigBill met them at the door.
Then they went in and saw Miss and Mrs =Bell playing a game.

Mrs =Bell said,  Stand along here and play the hungry-duck game.
with =zzzz.  We will take turns and see who can give this duck
something to eat.

So one by one the children played the hungry-duck game.
As they played, =Ted thought,
=BigBill does have surprises.
He asked us to a big airplane picnic.
and now we are playing a duck game.

But soon =Midnight came to look
for her kittens.

 Look, =Linda,  said =Yuki.
 Here comes =Midnight.
She has come to get her kittens. 

 Go away, =Midnight,  said =Linda.
 You can't have your kittens now.
=Yuki and I want to play with them. 



 Look, Mr =Doolittle !  said =Bill.
 Someone is going to move
into that new yellow house.
Who is going to move in there?
Do you know ? 

 No, I don't, said Mr =Doolittle.
 But I'll ask the workmen.
They may know
who is going to live there. 

Mr =Doolittle did ask the workmen.
But they didn't know.



 
Doctor =Small lived in a big city
before he moved to =Our =Town.
One of his friends there was
a little city girl.
She had no money to buy a pet.
So she had a pet mouse.

One day the little girl came
to Doctor =Small with her pet.
The little mouse was very ill.
Doctor =Small did all he could.
But the mouse did not live.

The doctor is a very kind man.
He gave the little girl
his three pet fish.


Will looked out of the window.
He saw the garbage truck go by.
He saw the fire truck go
down the street to a fire.
He saw some squirrels playing
in a tree.
He saw a honeybee light
on an orange and brown flower.
He saw a cat run away from a dog.
And then =Will had a surprise.
He saw a little green bird come
into the yard to get water.



Next day there was no school.
So =Grandfather and =Yuki worked
on the birdhouse.
They worked all morning.
By lunch time the birdhouse
was ready to be painted.
Then =Yuki painted it brown.
 Now it looks just like the one
in the bird book,  she said.



The mother spiders are big.
They build the web.
They catch the food.
They make the egg nests.
The daddy spiders are little.
They do not work.
But all the spiders help us.
They eat many of the flying things
that eat up our gardens and trees.



Yes, we know many things
about dolphins.
But there are some things
we do not know.

We know that dolphins talk.
But we don't know what they say
to one another.

We know that they are very good
at finding their way.
But we don't know
just how they do it.
Dolphins help us to know
how animals live in the water.
They make us happy, too.
Dolphins are fun to look at.



=Mike ran for a long way.
Then all at once he saw a farm.
It was not a very big farm.
But it had a farmhouse, a barn,
and some farm animals.

=Mike sat down under a tree.
He sat there for a long, long time
just looking at the farm.
Then all at once he said,  Yes !
This is just the place for me.
This farm will be my new home. 




 Yes,  laughed =Linda.
 =Midnight is a big mother cat now.
She has three little kittens. 

=Yuki said,  Come on, =Linda.
We can have some fun.
Let's play house
with the kittens. 

 Yes, let's do,  said =Linda.
 The kittens can be our dolls. 

Then the girls made the kittens
look like funny little dolls.
What fun they had !



 How is the alligator, =Jay? 
his daddy asked him.

=Jay didn't want to tell his daddy
that the alligator was gone.
He looked at =Kate.
Then he looked at his mother.

She was looking down at something
in =Kate's doll bed.
And she was laughing.

There in =Kate's doll bed was
the baby alligator.
It was fast asleep!
