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 ...             George Washington3 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire Beautiful Feet Books, 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 ...             Abraham Lincoln8 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire Beautiful Feet Books, 2008 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 ...             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 ...             Benjamin Franklin5 reviews Ingri D'Aulaire Beautiful Feet Bks, 1998 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 ...             Columbus3 reviews Beautiful Feet Bks, 1996 We enjoyed this book very much. This book was used with my daughter's American History curriculum. It held her interest and provided her with more than just date recall. I will use it again with my other child.             The Two Cars (New York Review Childrens Collection)3 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire NYR Children's Collection, 2007 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'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths182 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 1992 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.             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.             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!             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 ...             Buffalo Bill Ingri Parim D'aulaire Beautiful Feet Bks, 1998 William F. Cody was born in the middle of the nineteenth century on the plains of Kansas Territory where his family had settled to trade with the friendly Kickapoo Tribe. These Natives were Bill's childhood playmates and at a tender age he traded his brand-new buckskin suit for a little wild Indian pony that he learned to ride like the wind. By the time he was twelve, he was doing the work of a grown man as a cattle driver, camping under the ...             Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire's Book of Greek myths Ingri D'Aulaire Doubleday, 1962             NORSE GODS AND GIANTS (HC/1st/DJ) Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar D'Aulaire Doubleday, 1967             Foxie, The Singing Dog3 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire NYR Children's Collection, 2008 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!             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 ...             The Terrible Troll-Bird2 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar d'Aulaire NYR Children's Collection, 2007 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 ...             Too Big (New York Review Children's Collection) Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire NYR Children's Collection, 2008 The little hero of this tale has a shock of blond hair, a devoted dog, and a frisky cat, but today he has a problem, a big problem, in fact: he?s just too big to do the things he wants to do. He?s too big to put on his little hat and coat, too big for his mother to pick up, and too big to ride around on the dog?s back. Luckily he?s not too big to dream of the time when he?ll be big enough to relish the challenges ahead and to set out on bold ...             D'Aulaire's Norse Gods & Giants28 reviews Ingri d'Aulaire Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 1986 Its being reprinted at last!!!!!!!!!
