Back to the '50s
Back to the '50s, a book of poems highlighting life in America during the 1950s by Earlene Green Evans will take you on an exciting trip without luggage or a ticket.

You will make an appearance in your stylish poodle skirt with a matching off-shoulder blouse. Then, rack your brains trying to understand the impact of Russia's Sputnik. Dance to exhaustion with the music of the famous Drifters. Perhaps you just prefer to relax in the cool breeze on a strong tree limb with your favorite book.Back to the '50s will definitely rekindle buried feelings, old habits and foggy thoughts of people, places and things in the safe haven of the fabulous '50s.

Through My Little Eyes
In "Through My Little Eyes," a heartfelt letter-poem to Mommy, a young child observes the daily superheroic feats that their mother performs. The child's eyes see their mother as a magician conjuring meals, a general guiding them through life's battles, a fairy creating imaginative wonder, and a wizard teaching wisdom. But as the story unfolds, the child realizes that their mother doesn't always see herself in the same light. She catches her reflection with a sense of disappointment, comparing herself to others and believing she falls short. The child's perspective remains unwavering, expressing that their mother is already a shining star, a guiding light, and a perfect parent. The child encourages their mother to let go of self-doubt and see herself as they do - a superhero capable of incredible feats of love and strength. The story beautifully portrays the bond between a child and their mother, showing that sometimes, the way we perceive ourselves can be vastly different from how our loved ones see us.

My Bookhouse
Full of delightful fairy tales, charming poems, and engaging stories, the My Bookhouse series for children was published in the 1920s by Olive Beaupr矇 Miller as a six-volume set. The books contained the best in children's literature and progressed through a natural, carefully graded order, from the simplest poems and stories to those that are more complex. Miller set high standards for the books: "First, -To be well equipped for life, to have ideas and the ability to express them, the child needs a broad background of familiarity with the best in literature. "Second, -Stories and rhymes must be selected with care that the child may absorb no distorted view of life and its actual values, but may grow up to be mentally clear about values and emotionally impelled to seek what is truly desirable and worthwhile in human living. "Third, -The stories and rhymes selected must be graded to the child's understanding at different periods of growth, graded as to vocabulary, as to subject matter and as to complexity of structure and plot."The series would eventually include twelve volumes. The original volumes included: Volume 1, In the Nursery (1920) Volume 2, Up One Pair of Stairs (1920) Volume 3, Through Fairy Halls (1920) Volume 4, The Treasure Chest (1920) Volume 5, From The Tower Window (1921) Volume 6, The Latch Key (1921)The series is an ideal teaching aid for parents who want to help their children read well, think clearly, and absorb the most important lessons that literature has to teach.This volume, a facsimile of the original 1921 edition of From the Tower Window, features classic stories from around the world. It also features the color illustrations included in the original edition of the book. It is printed on acid-free, archival-quality paper for durability and long use.
ZillyZoo
Zillyzoo is definitely not your usual book of animal poems for children.The 'zoo' is divided into 3 'zones'.Each 'zone' begins with the image of a door on which is written an introduction to what lies beyond.Poems in Zone 3 offer different levels of complexity and challenge, and has been written for more able young readers to think about and explore.In the first zone, poems are mostly light-hearted and humorous, but even here there are those that ask the reader to think about what they've read. Not everything is always obvious. The very first poem (A day at the zoo #1) is obviously just about a visit to the zoo. That's all there is to it . . . or is it? This poem introduces the first of several mini-themes that pop up here and there throughout the whole book ... but I leave readers to make their own sense of them.The second zone continues these same themes, but now there is more to think about. What secrets or secret lives do a lot of the animals have? Even poems like 'A very modern cow' might seem to be too simple to even think about. Maybe it is just a little rhyme about a sad cow? Or maybe the little animal is hoping the reader will wonder why its parents and grandparents had names, but it only has a number.That is is the essence of ZillyZoo. Hidden amongst a lot of narrative or humorous verse, there are all sorts of ideas that will hopefully trigger readers' curiosity and imagination.Zone 3 takes this theme much further. As it says on the door at the start of the final set of poems, "There are shadows here." These are poems for more able readers who hopefully want more than just a light-hearted poem or a few minutes' amusement. These poems are written to stimulate responses, imagination, maybe discussion, and thought ... but they never go so far as to require personal interpretation to become full-on analysis.I've never felt happy assigning reading levels or abilities to specific ages as some sort of 'target' or as a threshold for levels of understanding. What is challenging for a child, of say, 8, can be easily understood by another of the same or a younger age. My bracketing of 'ages 6-13' is therefore only a very simple guide.
