Garden City, New York: Nelson Doubleday, Inc., 1957 One of the BEST vintage collectible chilren's books ever! Don't you love this series? Full-color and 2 color drawings on almost every page, and the best of the best stories. Unforgettable. There are so many different artists, too, that all the styles are stimulating. Cool illustrated endpapers. Kind of a combo of picture book and story book. Highly amusing and colorful, both for adults, kids, and collectors of vintage children's books. This is a ...             Ola2 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin D'Aulaire Doubleday, 1966 My favourite when I was a kid! I've still got my torn, and worn, and partly coloured by my kids, norwegian edition of "Ola". My kids are the second generation lovers of this book. The drawings are friendly and nice, the story is nice, and today it represents a Norway partly gone. That's why it's so valuable as a book to me, I 've used it to show my kids and my pupils what our country was like when I was a girl. Would love ...             The Terrible Troll-Bird2 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin D'Aulaire Doubleday, 1976 More magic from the D'Aulaires Some of my greatest joy as a father has been the time spent sharing this book with my 5 year old daughter, and all the others created a half century ago by Ingri and Edgar D'Aulaire. As these stories are folk tales from Ingri's own Norwegian childhood, your child experiences the viewpoint of children in a world of primeval forests, blue mountains, and spectacular fjords populated by creatures ...             Leif the Lucky7 reviews Ingri Daulaire, Edgar P. Daulaire Beautiful Feet Bks, 1994 Beautiful addition to our library! We loved this book! The illustrations were so rich in color! The pages were alternated between black and white and color. The story was so interesting. I seriously do not remember studying about the Vikings in school! Do you? What a great introduction!             East of the Sun and West of the Moon1 review Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin Viking Juvenile, 1969 Delightful collection of Norse folk tales for children I read this book as a child and was unable to put it down until I read it through. I am now 50 years old and still rank this book as one of the most memorable from my childhood. Many of the tales are what one would consider "foolish" in the sense that the main character is a "fool". They are a good source of insight into the Norwegian folk beliefs and just plain fun to read. Some are just scary ...             D'aulaire's Book of Greek Myths182 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 1962 THE MOS BEAUTIFUL BOOK ABOUT GREEK MYTHS Oh, I love this book it's fantastic, the best book about greek myths ever, nice pictures, absolutely must have.             George Washington3 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire Bt Bound, 1996 Another clear, very interesting, great looking book. Although the Amazon page doesn't show the wonderful cover, it shows the young George on a white horse--Washington's white charger became his trademark. Beautifully illustrated, and a direct, unfanciful text. A perfect introduction to the growing up and future of our first President, with no nonsense. The d'Aulaires were stylists and were accurate, visiting the sites. They won many prizes. They ...             d' Aulaires' Trolls7 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire Yearling, 1993 Roll with the Troll A great read filled with colorful illustrations & all the usual excitement you'd expect to find in a troll adventure. Of course, there is also a beautiful princess to be rescued. I don't know why Amazon lists the reading level as "baby, pre-school"!!! No baby or pre-schooler would sit through the first page. Maybe the illustrations would interest that group, but the amount of reading is far too ...             Children of the Night: 23 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin Viking Juvenile, 1935 Very Inspiring! How dare they let this book go out of print! I still remember the first time I read this book: I dreamed of sleds and reindeer for weeks afterwards. I drew gobs of pictures of the sleds, tents, reindeer, and kids wearing the Laplander (excuse me, It's considered polite to say Sammi now)clothing. Even my dogs had to be pretend reindeer and wear harness and pull sleds. Imagine what a sight that ...             Foxie The Singing Dog1 review D Aulaire Doubleday & Company, 1969 Adorable story and illustrations This is an adorable story about Foxie who follows his owner (a playful boy who sometimes teases Foxie with bones attached to strings) out of the house, but gets lost when a parade comes by. He finds a pair of glasses on the sidewalk, and the owner of the glasses finds Foxie and takes Foxie home with him where Foxie joins in with his new master's very musical style of life. His new master is very ...             D'Aulaires' Book of Animals (New York Review Books)2 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire NYR Children's Collection, 2007 D'Aulaires' Book of Animals Beautiful, classic D'Aulaires artwork. The entire book folds open into one long panorama. All of my children ages 4-13 love this book. It is one of those books you enjoy reading and admiring again and again.             Pocahontas3 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire Doubleday, 1941 Wonderful, full of facts and life We've been taking this book out the library for years. We finally bought it. As with all of the books by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'aulaire, the illustrations are beautiful, the stories full of information and the facts true. They are very easy to read but still not wishy-washy. We all learn something everytime we read them. You want to read them over and over. Our children read these for ...             D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths32 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire New York Review of Books, 2005 Wonderful Book I've had this book since I was a child, and I've always loved it. It's a great overview of Norse Mythology, though it leaves out some of the more complicated stories like the ring cycle. Norse mythology is darker than some cultures, but the D'Aulaires have set a nice balance for children. The artwork is very appropriate to the tone. I bought this book to donate to a group my fiance volunteers ...             A Literature Unit for D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths by Ingri & Edgar Parin d'Aulaire2 reviews Cynthia Ross, Theresa M. Wright Teacher Created Resources, 1993 It was great. it had a lot of myths. It is a great book for parents to read to kids. it is also good if you are intrested in greek myths             A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys (The Iona and Peter Opie Library of Children's Literature)3 reviews Nathaniel Hawthorne Oxford University Press, USA, 1996 A Beautiful Book! This is a remarkable book, with rich detail in both illustration and prose. Particularly wonderful for reading aloud together, my sons enjoyed this book through several years, and asked for the stories often.             Abraham Lincoln8 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin D'Aulaire Spoken Arts, 1985 Spectacular Book! This is a terrific book that should be part of a home library and would be enjoyed by children of multiple levels. This is definitely a more extensive history than that of many "children's" books. The omission of the end of Lincoln's life may be considered a plus to some parents who are not ready to share that part or a disapointment to those who desire a more complete biography. It's ...             The Two Cars3 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire Doubleday, 1955 Good Memories I and my brother used to fight over who got the copy of this from the public library. Later when the library decessioned the badly mauled (not just by us) book, my mother got that copy. The story concerns two cars: an old car and a new car. They agree to have a race. The old car takes it slow, or at the speed limit anyway, and the new car goes speeding off. Speeding tickets and roadside ...             D'Aulaire's Norse Gods & Giants28 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 1986 Its being reprinted at last!!!!!!!!! It being reprinted! Its being reprinted at last, and in hard cover!!!!! It is being retitled "D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths" and can now be pre-ordered from Amazon.             Benjamin Franklin5 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire Demco Media, 1987 A book to treasure! I am surprised to see that I'm doing the first review on this book! I checked this book out from the library to read to my children, and it is one of the most memorable biographies we have read together. This beautiful book is the story of Benjamin Franklin's interesting and inspiring life, with many full page illustrations. It includes many of his sayings throughout the book. I can't wait ...             Foxie, the Singing Dog3 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin D'Aulaire DoubleDay, 1969 I adore this book Foxie is a lovely story - nuanced, authentic, emotional without being sappy or maudlin. The illustrations are gorgeous. I'm having a hard time giving it up to my grandnephew!              search for books abraham, animals, aulaire, aulaires, benjamin, breakfast, children, franklin, garden, george, giants, gretel, hansel, illustrated, library, lincoln, literature, mother, pancakes, pocahontas, puppet, review, rhinoceros, singing, terrible, troll-bird, trolls, verses, washington, wonder books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
