books by E.M. Hale     books:       Carbonel, the king of the cats11 reviews Barbara Sleigh E.M. Hale and Co, 1966 The beginning of a lifetime love of reading My mom gave me this book when I was 8 years old. Hesitantly, I started reading it, and was immediately hooked. It is the first chapter book I remember reading, and I owe my love of literature to Barbara Sleigh and Carbonel. Before the advent of the Internet, I spent many years trying to track down copies of all the Carbonel books, with limited success. Then one day, I discovered that they had ...             Bread and jam for Frances29 reviews Russell Hoban E.M. Hale & Co, 1969 Loved it then, love it now I loved the Frances books when I was a child. I love reading the Frances books to my children.

Frances' ...             Minn of the Mississippi (Cadmus books)7 reviews Holling Clancy Holling E.M. Hale, 1963 Every child deserves a chance to read this book.

In following the life of "Minn," from hatchling to a veteran survivor of many ...             Why the chimes rang13 reviews Raymond Macdonald Alden E.M. Hale, 1963 Truly A Christmas Classic!

Hale and Co, 1961 Summaries translate the Bard's work into everyday English Chute's book provides a basic summary for each of Shakespeare's plays. Her writing is as lyrical as it is complete for such a book, which makes it a handy, enjoyable reference. Her main goal is to make the stories digestible, and to that end, the essence of Shakespeare's plays emerges brilliantly, freeing the average reader of dusty Elizabethan language. Unlike other books that give choppy ...             Big red barn (Cadmus books)80 reviews Margaret Wise Brown E.M.

Hale, 1962 A classic for slightly older children This is my favorite of the Beatrix Potter books, and I probably read all of them as a child. It's ideal for a slightly older child.

Hale, 1961 Mop Top I like the story because the little boy in the story had a mop for a head.Thay called him that because his hair looks bad. That sounded like me.
