Mother Goose In Prose - Collection Volume 1 contains the first five nursery rhymes in this series: Little Boy Blue; The Cat and The Fiddle; Hickory, Dickory, Dock; Humpty Dumpty; andBaa, Baa, Black Sheep.
None of us, whether children or adults, needs an introduction to Mother Goose. Those things which are earliest impressed upon our minds cling to them most tenaciously. The snatches sung in the nursery are never forgotten, nor are they ever recalled without bringing back with them myriads of slumbering feelings and half-forgotten images.
But who, in our century, has heard the nursery rhymes told in prose?
Enter L. Frank Baum, author of "The Wizard of Oz" (the original) and whose story telling works like magic to reintroduce us to our old-time favorites.
We've added new full-color artwork to the old stories, and the result is a brand new world to explore once again.

Print: $15.95 Download: $7.50 Santa Claus lives in the Laughing Valley, where stands the big, rambling castle in which his toys are manufactured. His workmen, selected from the ryls, knooks, pixies and fairies, live with him, and every one is as busy as can be from one year's end to another.
On one side is the mighty Forest of Burzee. At the other side stands the huge mountain that contains the Caves of the Daemons. And between them the Valley lies smiling and peaceful.
One would thing that our good old Santa Claus, who devotes his days to making children happy, would have no enemies on all the earth; and, as a matter of fact, for a long period of time he encountered nothing but love wherever he might go.
But the Daemons who live in the mountain caves grew to hate Santa Claus very much, and all for the simple reason that he made children happy.
One Christmas Eve, they decided to take action!

Print: $19.53 Download: $7.50 When God made the world He planted the flowers and the grass and the trees to make things beautiful to look upon. And when He made the animals we believe that he intended them to be the friends of man.
Isn't the dog the best playmate that a boy can have? And the soft, dainty, cunning bit of a fluffy ball of a kitten who comes rubbing its downy sides against the tiny girl's skirts begging for a return caress, is there a play-fellow more lovable? The horse who has been man's friend in times of trouble and of peace, bearing his burdens or scampering with him over the fields and roads in play; the cow who has sent her good milk to the babies of all time; the sheep and the goats who have given of their wool to keep us warm, we love them all dearly.
In this volume we have tried to make friends and playmates of all of the animals. And we're sure you'll love them too!

Print: $19.03 Download: $7.50 Aesop, known only for the genre of fables ascribed to him, was by tradition a slave who was a contemporary of Croesus and Peisistratus in the mid-sixth century BC in ancient Greece. The various collections that go under the rubric "Aesop's Fables" are still taught as moral lessons and used as subjects for various entertainments, especially children's plays and cartoons.
The fables remain a popular choice for moral education of children today. Many stories included in Aesop's Fables, such as "The Fox and the Grapes" (from which the idiom "sour grapes" was derived), "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf" (also known as The Boy Who Cried Wolf), are well-known throughout the world.
What would a modern Aesop's motto be?
Think it over!
