Boxes for Katje
Candace Fleming, Stacey Dressen-McQueen (Illustrator)
Rosie is just one little girl in 1945-America who sends a small box of soap,
socks, & chocolate to Katje, a small girl in war-torn Holland with an equally
giving and thankful spirit. Based on a true event, the rich drawings add much
to a well-told story of the far-reaching impact of simple acts of
kindness ... and the importance of saying thanks in special ways. A lovely
story to share with a favorite child or savor after a long day.
Kalimantaan
C.S. Godschalk
The hero is a young Englishman who founds a Raj on the coast of Borneo in the 1800's. This is the author's first novel and I am raving about it to anyone who asks, "Have you read a good book lately?"
The Whole Story
(series includes Around the World in
80 Days, The Jungle Book, Treasure Island & many more)
You know the story -- now you can have the background. Amazing tidbits of history, geography, customs from the time of each story. Unabridged text and lovely illustrations. Exploring the story becomes an exciting discovery.
