In 1658 Jan Ámos Komenský published the illustrated informational book Orbis Pictus; it's considered to be the first picture book published specifically for children. John Newbery's 1744 publication of A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, sold with a ball for boys or a pincushion for girls, is considered a landmark for the beginning of pleasure reading marketed specifically to children.

I taught 5th grade a few yrs ago. I liked using their literature stories and have the students pick a character and write the story from a different perspective. You can also allow them to write about their hobby,how would someone describe you if they came into your room and didn't know you?What will you be involved in in high school? What is your goal for 30 yrs of age? Write about fav sportsman. Who is their hero? What is a hero? Feelings about America? I once did a story on a bag of marshmallows and they wrote from the marshmallows veiw. It was a good topic. You can use everyday objects and lay one on each desk. Recently I had my grandkids write a story about 3 items that I picked for them. The items had nothing in common but they wrote great stories. They also made a story plan by filling out a form with the characters,problem,2 paragraphs about how to solve the problem,how it was solved, and wraping up in the last paragragh. The next time I let them pick the items but it took them forever to get them. I think they were trying to think up a story while looking for the items. I was actually working with one grandson who was behind in reading due to ADHD( Delux!). He learned some from the new ideas I found for him and it was nice that the others of about the same age wrote with him.PBS.com is where I got some of my ideas(games,worksheets,books) to help him this summer so he got caught up. "Mrs.McGowen Lots About Reading" in the PBS site is a great source and has many ideas on all subjects. Best wishes! I miss teaching but have my hands full with grandkids!

Customer Reviews\nAverage Customer Review: \nNumber of Reviews: 3\n\n childhood favorite, March 28, 2004\nReviewer: A reader\nThis book has been my favorite since I was a child. The words flow so well when reading to myself or my children. Although there are some grafic parts, they don't take away from the poem/story being youthfull and fun. I will always read and share with others this delightful story.\n\n\n\n \n\n2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:\n\n My favorite children's book, July 10, 2000\nReviewer: Erin C (Winnipeg, MB Canada) - See all my reviews \nThis has got to be one of the most fun books to read. It has a great story about a little girl who has a lion, with a big, bad roar that she unleashes on unsuspecting robbers. Although somewhat gruesome I still love this book. I highly enjoy reading this book to my little brother and sister who love it as well. I hihgly recommend this book as one that should be in any book collection. I've even bought myself a copy and I'm 21.\n\n \n\n\n \n\n1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:\n\n Rhyming Fun, March 24, 1999\nReviewer: A reader\nLizzy's Lion may surprise adults at first with it's some what gross discription but it thrills children. It is fun to read!\nThis book is rhyming fun with it's musical sentences. Dennis Lee has captured a singy-song additude.\n\nThe pictures are characteristic of the award winning Marie-Louise Gay. Her pictures are busy and wild. Gay's children are depicted as cute but not perfectly pretty. She makes looking at illustrations fun.

Oh! I love that story. We read it last semester. Have you read the story? It's really funny to read it and then think in the gutters. Our sub, Scott, taught us that. lol Anyway... okay... hm... thesis statement. \n\n"There are stories about fish and the like, but none quite like this. The boy in the story learns to grow after learning that his beloved Sheila is not what he thought she was. In the story the boy struggling with what he loves and what he thinks he is in love with. ([The story teaches about letting go, forgetting and growing up] <-- thesis)." \n\nOkay, to clarify the thesis:\n\nLetting go: Letting go of the fish and moving on.\nForgetting: He forgets that he can't very well catch a fish without her seeing, so he loses it. \nGrowing up: After he learns that Sheila Mant is not what he thought she but, but in fact a skany who9re (lol) he learns to move on and grow up. \n\nI hope this helped.

I read that book about a million times when I was a kid. I think it was written in the seventies? But I loved it, and it will always ring true, no matter what time you're growing up in. You should look up more of Judy Blume's books. I love them all.

Try the poet Emily Dickenson. She wrote a ton of material, and there is a ton of material about her!

I think the book was "league of Grey-eyed Woman". Cartoon, yes, The Littles.

Yes... I attended grade school with a young lady whose last name was Higdon in Hopkinsville, KY. As I recall she was quite attractive. (And tall)

It was Theodore Geissel, writer of Dr Seuss books. They just had his biography on TV and this was his explanation for why he was childless (actually his wife was infertile but he was too private a guy to say that).

English author (1849-1924)\nBiography:\n\nFrances Hodgson Burnett was born in Manchester in 1849. Some years after his father's death, all her family moved to United States.\nHer reputation as a novelist was made with her story of Lancashire life, That Lass o' Lowrie's (published in 1877), Burnett's first novel, which had been serialized in Scribner's. The book already showed her talent to portray realistic working-class scenes, mixed with a romantic and most improvable plot. Later on, she had other novels published, like Haworth's (1879), Louisiana (1880), A Fair Barbarian (1881), and Through One Administration (1883), as well as a play, Esmeralda (1881). \nBut all these books were not to be her most successful work. In 1886, she published Little Lord Fauntleroy, a children's book which fascinated mothers, for they began dressing their sons in velvet suit with lace collar, like the main character of this book. \nHer later books include Sara Crew (1888), later rewritten as A Little Princess for drama, and her marvelous Secret Garden (1909). Both were children's books, and thanks to them, Burnett is quite well-known now-a-days.\n\nLittle Lord Fauntleroy, illustrated by Reginald Barthurts Birch, éd. Scribner, 1886. \nLe Petit Lord Fountleroy, illustrated by Marcel Bloch, Nelson, 1938. \nSecret Garden, illustrated by Thea Kliros, Dover Children's Thrift Classics, 1996.\nA Little Princess, illustrated by Thea Kliros, Dover Children's Thrift Classics, 1996.\nPetite princesse, illustrated by Marcel Bloch, 1934.\nSecret Garden, illustrated by Tasha Tudor, Harpercollins, 1987.\nSecret Garden, illustrated by Louis Lowry, Bantam Classics.\nLe jardin secret, illustrated bye Rozier-Gaudriault, Gallimard, 1992.
