Retold from the Eleanor H. Porter Original

"Once you start looking for the happy things, you don't think about the bad ones as much." That's the joyful way Pollyanna sees the world: no matter what happens, she plays her "Just Be Glad" game and finds the sunny side of any situation. But when she's orphaned and forced to live with her rigid Aunt Polly, will high-spirited Pollyanna succeed in melting her Aunt's cold heart?

The Autobiography of a Horse

A handsome horse with a glossy black coat and a pretty white star on his forehead, Black Beauty seems to lead a charmed life. Although his mother warns him that there are 'bad, cruel men' in the world, he begins his life in a happy home, with a friendly groom to look after him and plenty to eat. However, when a change of circumstances means that he is sold, he soon discovers the truth of his mother's words. Anna Sewell's moving story is one of the best-loved animal adventures ever written.

Originally published as Grammar Can Be Fun in 1935 and still relevant 

Illinois

Updated for the 21st century, How to Speak Politely and Why is a picture book with a point: proper speech and good grammar without nagging. It aims to remove "ain't" and "uh-huh" and "gimme" and "got" and a score of unfortunate nuances by a simple, sure painless and humorous process. In his signature style of amusing stick figure drawings and captions, Leaf makes clear such things as the difference between can and may, and the reason why one does not say "he done it" or "she come."
Exasperated parents (and grandparents) faced with the unpleasant task of dealing with grammatical lapses acquired by their children from (gasp!) their neighbor's children will be delighted (and relieved) by this veritable "grammar without tears." Teachers will find it an indispensable ally, and even the culprits themselves--the children--will discover that learning to speak politely and correctly isn't such a chore after all.

James Matthew Barrie

Ohio

When J. M. Barrie was six, his fourteen-year-old brother David died in a skating accident. His distraught mother took comfort in the thought that by dying young, David would, at least, always remain a boy. This may have been the germ of Peter Pan. The story of the boy who wouldn't grow up began as a play produced on December 27, 1904. A smashing success from the first, it has remained a holiday staple in England ever since. Barrie expanded the story in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), and novelized the play as Peter and Wendy (1911). Both of these works, along with a later short story, are included here, making this the most complete edition available of the Peter Pan saga. Like the best children's literature, Peter Pan has an edge to it; certainly, Peter's namesake is one of the edgier Greek gods. An analogy with Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland may be instructive: Both authors had trouble with adult relationships and interacted best with children, and both created complex child characters who survive adult-sized trials. And both Alice and Peter will live forever.
