Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO * GRADUATE LIBRARY SCHOOL Volume XIV December, 1960 Number 4 New Titles for Children and Young People R American Heritage Magazine. The Golden Book of the American Revolution; 7-10 ad. by Fred Cook from The American Heritage Book of the Revolution. Golden Press, 1959. 193p. (A De Luxe Golden Book) Trade ed. $4.95. Cloth ed. $6.65. Adapted from The American Heritage Book of the Revolution, an oversize book pro- fusely illustrated by a great variety of material from the period as well as by pho- tographs of relics. The first chapter describes the background of growing conflict and the provocative measures and incidents that led to the outbreak of the war; the book ends with Washington's farewell to his officers in December, 1783. The writing style is informal and easy, although there is no writing down; an index is appended. Useful as curricular material. An unusual and informative chapter describes the "Arms and Men" of the opposing forces: with such sub-topics listed as artillery used, camps and prisons, and infantryman's weapons, and the British foot soldier. The book will also be useful with younger children for its illustrations. Ad Anglund, Joan Walsh. In a Pumpkin Shell; A Mother Goose ABC. Harcourt, 3-6 1960. 29p. illus. $2.95. yrs. Nursery verses are compiled to make an ABC book: each page (or double-page) gives the letter, the word, the verse, and the illustrations. For example, "R . .. Rain .. . Rain, rain, go away, etc." Illustrations, which alternate full color and black-and- white, have the usual Anglund beguiling, if sentimental, charm. Not unusual as an ABC book-in fact, there is no rhyme for XYZ-and not a full Mother Goose collec- tion, but a very attractive book. R Barnes, Eric Wollencott. The War between the States; illus. by W. N. Wilson. 7-10 Whittlesey House, 1959. 143p. $3.50. A fine book on the Civil War, with a first chapter that gives a succinct and pithy analysis of the causes of the conflict. The narrative is dramatic, but is never melo- dramatic; the author writes, in fact, in a rather solid fashion, relying on the drama inherent in the events themselves to give color to his story. The book concludes with Lee's surrender, although the final page summarizes post-war developments. An ex- tensive index is appended. NR Barr, Cathrine. Little Ben. Walck, 1980. 32p. illus. $2.25. 4-6 yrs. Little Ben, a beaver, was laughed at by his brothers and sisters because his tail was so small.

Walck, 1980. 32p. illus. $2.25. 4-6 yrs. Little Ben, a beaver, was laughed at by his brothers and sisters because his tail was so small. One day two children were rowing on the lake, and Little Ben led them away from his family; then he slapped his tail as a danger signal, so all the beavers 53 54 escaped. After that Little Ben was praised rather than laughed at. Pictures of Little Ben show him swimming about with a water lily in his teeth while decoying Win and Sue; the water lily is for his mother-a poor nature concept. The ugly duckling theme is trite, as is the device of having a "different" one be accepted because of a feat, rather than being acceptable despite the difference. R Bartlett, Margaret Farrington. The Clean Brook; illus. by Aldren A. Watson. K-2 Crowell, 1960. 39p. (Let's Read-and-Find-Out Books) Trade ed. $1.95. Library ed. $2.35 net. A very good first science book that can be read aloud to the pre-school child or read independently by the beginning reader. The author describes the quiet pond from which the brook flows, the ways in which the water muddies, and the natural filters in the water (stones, pebbles, sand, food eaten by fish) that enable the brook to be- come clean again. Simplicity and brevity in the writing style, and a delimitation of subject make for excellent introductory material. The illustrations are not outstand- ing, but they are clear and informative. Ad Bate, Norman. Vulcan. Scribner, 1960. 28p. illus. $2.75. 2-3 Vulcan was an abandoned steam locomotive, rusting in a junkyard until he was melted down for scrap. At the steel mill, Vulcan's remains were combined with new iron and processed into strong steel. When the manufacturing process was completed, Vulcan had becoming a warning buoy; sailors would wave when they saw Vulcan's light and heard his whistle. The book is chiefly concerned with a rehabilitation process, and seems to stretch a point to think of molten metal or steel plate as "he." Illustrations are powerful in their impression of size, heat, and haste in the milling process. Mr. Bate gives, as he does in his previous books, an exciting picture of an industrial op- eration; the manufacturing process here does not achieve the drama of construction in Who Built the Dam? or Who Built the Bridge? R Battista, Orlando A. The Challenge of Chemistry; illus. by Gil Cohen. Win- 7-10 ston, 1959. 162p. $3.95. A man who loves his work writes with enthusiasm of the profession of chemistry and of the exciting possibilities of exploring new chemical frontiers. Dr. Battista de- scribes, in separate chapters, some of the divisions of the science: physical chemis- try, biochemistry, radiochemistry, industrial chemistry, and many others. He also discusses the teaching of chemistry, the opportunities for women in the field, and the technological challenges of the future. Serious but not dull, and scientific but not burdened with science terminology; an interesting and informative book. Illustrations are mediocre, index is quite extensive. Ad Bergaust, Erik. Rockets of the Navy. Putnam, 1959. 48p. illus. $2.50. 6-10 A collection of photographs of the rockets and missiles in use by the United States Navy at the time of publication. The four types of operational missiles: surface-to- air, surface-to-surface, air-to-surface, and air-to-air are described; in the case of each missile the names of ships equipped for launching that model are cited. Infor- mation about size, range, weight, etc. are given in the body of the text. There is no index; one page of definitions of missile terms is appended. The table of contents lists the model of missile-i.e., Vanguard, Sidewinder, Polaris, etc. Although the text treats each of the four types of operational missiles in order, there is no phys- ical division of the sections, so that the printed material is continuous and not, there- fore, as easily assimilable as in the previous books by Mr. Bergaust. Interest in the topic will attract boys in the fourth and fifth grade, who may not fully comprehend the text, to examinations of the profuse and captioned photographs. 55 R Bible. The First Christmas; From the Gospels According to Saint Luke and all Saint Matthew; illus. with etchings by Barbara Neustadt. Crowell, 1960. ages 32p. $2.75. The Gospels according to Saint Matthew and Saint Luke, in a strikingly handsome book. The illustrator has used with discrimination the style of a medieval manuscript, with set figures, wide decorative borders framing each page (whether the enclosure is illustration or text), and vivid, glowing colors. The book is artistically unified by the fact that the background of the border is repeated on each page; the etchings are given added interest by occasional touches of stylized modern technique. Ad Bradley, Duane. Our World of Science; by Duane Bradley and Eugene Lord; 5-7 illus. by Tibor Tors. Lippincott, 1959. 159p. $3. Informally and simply written, a book that presents some of the basic principles of the physical sciences; the topics covered are air, water, change, motion, sound, light, heat, and electricity. Explanations are clear, occasionally over-simplified, and the instructions for experiments and demonstrations are explicit. Some of the demon- strations suggested seem more recreational than educational, however; for example, cleaning pennies with salt and vinegar, or "How To Make a Rainbow" by dropping castor oil in water. Although the treatment of scientific principles is thus popular- ized, the information is accurate and the diagrams clear; the book provides an easy introduction that may well provoke further interest. R Buckley, Peter. The Spanish Plateau; The Challenge of a Dry Land; maps by 6-8 Wesley McKeown. Coward-McCann, 1959. 96p. (A Challenge Book) $2.50. A most interesting description of the arid regions that cover two-thirds of Spain, and of the conservation efforts being made today. Well written, with good maps, and with many excellent photographs. The author gives historical background that includes the contributions of the Romans and the Moors; he describes the topography and the cli- mate and their effect on the people and their agricultural and industrial problems. A brief index is appended. Ad Cavanna, Betty. Arne of Norway; photographs by George Russell Harrison. 4-6 Watts, 1960. 77p. $3.50. A description of the northernmost part of Norway, given through the medium of nar- ration about the activities of young Arne Hansen. In the rugged isolation of the small town of Hammerfest, Arne and his family lead lives shaped by the ocean, the climate, the rocky soil and the long winter months of continuous darkness. Arne takes two trips: one to Svalbard-only 600 miles from the North Pole-and one to Bergen, a large modern city. The book gives interesting information about some aspects of Norwegian life, although some of the facts are presented in a rather contrived frame: for example, "It was too bad, Arne thought, that the Lapp family ... " introduces a rather long paragraph of text about the Lapp reindeer. Although the book gives excel- lent information, it does not achieve the sense of easy familiarity in Gidal's My Vil- lage in Norway (Pantheon, 1958); the Gidal book being a study in depth and Arne of Norway a wider but less penetrating view. The professional quality of photography in the latter is also superior, although the photographs by Mr. Harrison include some breath-taking scenic views. Ad Chappell, Warren. They Say Stories; written and illus. by Warren Chappell. 4-6 Knopf, 1960. 79p. $3. A collection of very brief stories based on proverbs, prefaced by the author's expla- nation of the nature of a proverb. The illustrations are delightful: colorful, humor- ous, and neatly integrated with the text. The tales are very simple and well told, but they have a marked weakness: they are anticlimactic. The denoument of "Raindrops can't tell broadcloth from jeans" is simply that: the rain hits the rich and the poor, 56 and does not distinguish between them. The author leaves to the reader the interpre- tation of events, apparently depending on the preface to stimulate understanding, but only the perceptive child will understand the full implications. M Christensen, Jack. The Forgotten Rainbow; by Jack and Lee Christensen. 3-5 Morrow, 1960. 32p. $3.25. A rather patterned fairy tale, in which a young ruler of a mythical land sends out a call for princesses to apply for the privilege of marriage. Three are beautiful, but the fourth princess is poorly clad; three labor diligently at each task, the fourth gives up her chances to help the others. When each asks for the one wish the prince has promised to grant, three ask for material things, the fourth wants only the rain- bow that has made her feel peaceful. The prince looks at the rainbow, also feels peaceful, weds the fourth princess. The weakness here is in the abrupt decision of the prince, who has been singularly obtuse about the true beauty of the princess' na- ture. The illustrations are attractive, and the writing style has a romantic quality that gives the traditional fairy tale flavor. R Clarke, Arthur Charles. The First Five Fathoms; A Guide to Underwater Ad- 5- venture; photographs by Mike Wilson. Harper, 1960. 83p. $2.75. An excellent book on free diving: well-written, informative, and meticulously spe- cific about safety measures. Photographs in black and white illustrate clearly the equipment discussed in the text, and there are many photographs of marine life; the fact that photographs are numbered is helpful. Mr. Clarke explains the particular pleasures of skindiving in the first five fathoms (thirty feet) of the sea; he describes equipment and procedure, stressing safety rules and the need for instruction. Other kinds of diving equipment are also described, and one section of the text concerns the use of cameras under water. Ad Coatsworth, Elizabeth Jane. The Children Come Running. Golden Press, 1960. 4-6 93p. illus. Trade ed. $2.95. Library ed. $3.19 net. For the benefit of the United Nations Children Children's Fund, a collection of cards that have been created by famous artists are presented with the addition of some text, in prose or poetry, by Miss Coatsworth. While the writing has been fashioned to illustrate the paintings, little of it seems contrived. There are, however, some pieces which do so seem: some of the poetry, and a rather long prose selection, "The Kite and the Wind," which encompasses several of the illustrations and has a tinge of travelogue about it. Even this is not mediocre because the writing style has merit. R Courlander, Harold. The Tiger's Whisker; And Other Tales and Legends from 5-7 Asia and the Pacific; illus. by Enrico Arno. Harcourt, 1959. 152p. $3.25. A delightful collection of thirty-one stories from the Far East, with an appended list of notes. Varied, lively, and artfully told, these tales are enjoyable for independent reading, reading aloud, or story-telling. Mr. Courlander's writing has a directness of approach and an authenticity of the folk style that give the retellings an unusual vitality. R Current History Magazine. Current History.Review of 1959; prepared by the 7- Editors of Current History. Rand McNally, 1960. 192p. $4.95. A concise and useful reference book; using the material that has appeared in the monthly reviews of Current History, the volume gives information about important events of the year. After a section on happenings of international importance, the data is listed by country, alphabetically. Each section contains statistics on the coun- try: population figures, languages used, and facts of political or economic importance. Entries are brief and in chronological order under each country; maps and index are excellent. 57 R Darling, Lois. Before and After Dinosaurs; written and illus. by Lois and 5-7 Louis Darling. Morrow, 1959. 95p. $2.95. An excellent presentation of information about the class Reptilia: the text is accu- rate, vividly written and well organized; the drawings and charts are both clear and strikingly handsome. The authors give a lucid and succinct explanation of the theory of evolution; they have also added to the value of the book by a thoughtful conclusion on the reasons for disappearance of some of the reptiles of the age of dinosaurs. A pronunciation list is appended. R DeJong, Dola. By Marvelous Agreement. Knopf, 1960. 211p. $2.95. 7-10 The story of a Dutch war orphan who comes to live with the Remingtons: widowed Mrs. Remington is a practicing analyst, Eva is about the same age as Roza van der Hoop, and fourteen-year-old Cliff accepts the new member of the family cheerfully. Roza and Eva have some difficulty adjusting, especially because Eva is having trou- bles accepting her mother's suitor and rejection by a boy, while Roza is adjusting to a new place and a new peer group. The fact that Roza is Jewish is never unduly stressed; that is, there is discussion of anti-semitism, but it is kept in perspective. Roza's problems are adjustment to age and change. Ethical concepts are fine, as are the family relationships; the plot is slight and unoriginal, but the chief empha- sis is on character development and interaction rather than plot. The description of the relationship between Cliff and Eva is most discerning. R DuBois, William Pene. Otto in Texas. Viking, 1959. 45p. illus. $2.50. K-2 To read aloud, a book with lively illustrations that enhance the blithe and ridiculous story of the giant dog, Otto, honored guest at the home of a Texas millionaire. Otto solves the mystery of the three bad men who are rustlin' Sam Hill's cattle above ground and his oil wells below. Disguised, the desperadoes have been masquerading as Grandmas-painting Grandmas. Their sign reads, "Primitive Oil Paintings Hand Painted on Premises." Our hero (who has also dug up a bone his size: a dinosaur bone) is, of course, given a new medal. A bland spoof of everything. Ad Estes, Eleanor. The Witch Family; illus. by Edward Ardizzone. Harcourt, 3-6 1960. 186p. $3.25. A lively fantasy by the creator of the beloved Moffatt family. Two small girls, Amy and Clarissa, invent an old witch in their drawing sessions; somehow Old Witch be- comes real. Banished by Amy to a glass hill, the Old Witch becomes head of a fam- ily; the affairs of the two little girls and the witches are intricately involved. Some- times their worlds are apart, sometimes they merge; an enchanted bee-a spelling bee, in fact-acts as Amy's emissary to the glass hill. The tale is rather extended, but the author's deft style sustains reading interest. R Fenton, Carroll Lane. Cliff Dwellers of Walnut Canyon; by Carroll Lane Fen- 3-5 ton and Alice Epstein; illus. by Albert Orbaan and Carroll Lane Fenton. Day, 1960. 63p. $2.75. A description of the cultural patterns of one group of Cliff Dwellers, part of the Sinagua tribe, that lived in Arizona eight hundred years ago. Each page has a small amount of text on one special aspect of tribal life: hunting, stone tools and weapons, making pottery, and so forth; on the facing page is an illustration, and these are clear, informative, and carefully labeled. The writing is simple in style, somewhat repetitive, a bit dry. A map showing this and other Indian ruins (in parts of four states) is included. Ad Galdone, Paul, illus. The Old Woman and Her Pig; pictures by Paul Galdone. 58 K-2 Whittlesey House, 1960. 32p. $2. A picture book version of the familiar tale about the old woman who couldn't get over the stile. Each step in the sequence is separately illustrated in either black and white or three-color drawings; the illustrations are not outstanding, but are at- tractive, with vivacity and humor. SpR Gendel, Evelyn. Tortoise and Turtle; drawings by Hilary Knight. Simon and 2-4 Schuster (Golden Press), 1960. 56p. $2.95. A book suitable also for reading aloud to some children of primary age, since the format and subject are for the very young, whilst the vocabulary and humor are more sophisticated. Tortoise and Turtle plan a party in meticulous detail, and very successful it is. Mr. Knight's illustrations are delightful; soft in technique, humor- ous, and affectionate. The problem in assessing the best audience for this book lies in the disparity between subject and style. There is so much in the humorous style that is latent rather than apparent that will be missed by small listeners (save for those who delight in the unfamiliar); while the older child who could read may dis- miss it because of format. For example, young Turtle is constantly learning eti- quette and word definitions: "Next delivery was fat leafy branches: 'Festoon,' said the squirrel. 'Festoon?' said Turtle. 'Embellish,' said Tortoise. 'Embellish?' said Turtle. 'It looks nice,' said Little Ball." R Gidal, Sonia. Sons of the Desert; by Sonia and Tim Gidal. Pantheon, 1960. 5-7 79p. illus. $3.50. In this picture of a Bedouin community, the Gidals have made yet another contribu- tion to an engrossing series of books about cultural groups. As Fayez, one of the sons of the Sheik, tells of the tribe's way of life, the reader is impressed by the fact that the desert tribes live much as they did four thousand years ago. There are a few evidences of modernity: the locust swarm is sprayed by a government plane; the boys go to a House of Learning taught by a man who has gone to the Government School. Girls do not go to school even now, and the market at Beersheba is little changed. Because the material in this volume is less familiar than that in the books on Ireland or Norway, the first-person narrative lacks the candor and directness found in those accounts; however, the unusual background compensates quite amply for this lack. Ad Greene, Carla. I Want To Be a Librarian; illus. by Frances Eckart. Chil- 1-2 drens Press, 1960. 32p. $2. Jane goes to the library, attends story hour, gets a card; she takes out a book for her brother so that he can learn more about boats. She also goes along to help on a bookmobile (an opportunity not often granted by librarians to small patrons), and when Joe tells her all the things librarians do, Jane decides that she wants to be a librarian. Slight, but useful for the beginning independent reader; illustrations are pedestrian but the text gives adequately a picture of the activities of a librarian. Ad Grey, Vivian. The First Book of Astronomy; pictures by George Geygan. 5-7 Watts, 1959. 68p. $1.95. An introduction to astronomy that covers in rather brief review a large number of topics: sun, moon, stars, planets, meteors, comets, earth-its orbit and its atmos- phere. Three pages are devoted to our galaxy. Diagrams are clear, although a few are not placed to best advantage for page reference. Four star charts are included, also a table of characteristics of the planets. Adequate, accurate, but cursory. R Hood, Robert E. Find a Career in Photography. Putnam, 1959. 159p. illus. 7-9 $2.75. Although the information about photographers is intended for the reader who is al- 59 ready interested in the subject, the book is so simply written that one who is igno- rant of photographic techniques might easily be interested. The author describes some of the career possibilities: industrial photography, photo reporting, portrait photography, etc. He discusses some of the allied jobs: processing, selling, repair, and pictorial editing. One section of the book describes the work of six famous pho- tographers, and in each case some helpful suggestions from the artist are quoted. A brief glossary and an index are appended. Ad Hughes, Shirley. Lucy and Tom's Day; written and drawn by Shirley Hughes. 4-6 Scott, 1960. 23p. $2.75. yrs. A read-aloud book that describes an ordinary day in the lives of Lucy and Tom, who are English; the text does not mention the background, and the book will be appreci- ated fully only if the location is mentioned. Illustrations, which are charming and humorous, indicate the English scene, but here again require pointing out to the lis- tener. Since the two most interesting aspects of the book are the differences in de- tail and the similarities in pattern (between British and American children), it is indeed a drawback that the setting is not clarified in the text itself. A pleasant story, and one that would be greatly enhanced if the English background were specified. Ad Hurd, Edith Thacher. Hurry Hurry; pictures by Clement Hurd. Harper, 1960. K-2 62p. (I Can Read Books) Trade Ed. $1.95. Library Ed. $2.19 net. For the beginning reader or to be read aloud, a mildly amusing book about Miss Mugs, who always got into trouble because she was in too much of a hurry to be care- ful. Taking care of Suzie while her parents were away, Miss Mugs tried to hurry Suzie along so that she wouldn't be late for school. Tangling with leashes, falling into a manhole, scooped by a steamshovel, and drenched in glue, Miss Mugs finally learned her lesson. Although the slight theme is drawn out, the exaggeration is a form of hu- mor most children enjoy. The question does arise as to how Suzie ever did get to school on time after all the delays; and, if she did, how early the trip began? NR Hymes, Lucia. Hooray for Chocolate; And Other Easy-To-Read Jingles; by 2-3 Lucia and James L. Hymes, Jr.; pictures by Leonard Kessler. Scott, 1960. 48p. $2.50. A collection of twenty-five jingles about everyday problems in the lives of children, in which the authors have taken the child's viewpoint completely. Example: "If your Dad / Is feeling grouchy / Watch your step / Or you'll feel ouch-y." Other verses are cute rather than therapeutic: "I reeelyjik lick / Arithmetic / But spulling / Makes me very sic." Children may enjoy the expression of resentment against the strictures of adult demands, but the humor is on one theme and wears a bit thin. R Joslin, Sesyle. Brave Baby Elephant; pictures by Leonard Weisgard. Har- 3-6 court, 1960. 46p. $2.50. yrs. An engaging book in which a small elephant (who might as well be a small boy) goes through an elaborate routine of preparation for a great adventure. He was going all by himself; carefully equipped with a basket of food and very elegant borrowed cloth- ing, Baby Elephant went off. To bed. The charm in this story is in the quiet and un- derstated humor of the writing, the conversation being especially appealing. The end- ing comes as a pleasant surprise, and the attitudes of the adult members of the fam- ily toward the child who is pretending are sympathetic. Illustrations have a cozy period effect in pink, black and white. Ad Jupo, Frank. The March of Trade; written and illus. by Frank Jupo. Prentice- 5-6 Hall, 1960. 64p. $2.95. 60 A review of the development of trade, fairly comprehensive in scope but rather su- perficial in treatment. From the bartering between early tribes to the present day, the growing speed and complexity of commerce is described. The author is careful to point out the ways in which geographic factors influenced the contributions of par- ticular peoples, and how the need for new ideas helped produce inventions which in turn had their influences. The book closes with a discussion of the magnitude of trade in the world today: the production, distribution, and merchandising that is nec- essary in a swift and competitive market. Illustrations and layout are attractive; the text is informal and brisk, with several phrases or sentences carelessly written. R Kennedy, John M. Making Electricity Work; illus. by the author. Crowell, 1959. 7-10 213p. $3.50. A book about electricity and magnetism, with instructions in each section for con- struction of demonstration projects. A prefatory note to the reader describes some of the materials and tools needed. The text has five divisions: these discuss the na- ture of electricity, circuits, electrons, the nature of magnetism, and motors and generators. Not a book for the beginner: the style is crisp and factual, the text rath- er heavy with technical and scientific terminology. For the reader who has a previ- our acquaintance with the subject, an excellent combination of information and exper- iment. The many diagrams are clear and instructions are explicit. An index is ap- pended. Ad Kingman, Lee. House of the Blue Horse. Doubleday, 1960. 237p. $2.95. 6-9 Val Chapelle felt that she was hampered by the strict European standards of her parents-she was sixteen years old and they insisted on driving her date home ... if she had one. Her life changed radically when a gay, noisy democratic family with six children became neighbors. Val learned that there were some very good reasons for the attitude of her own parents even while she yearned for more freedom. She also learned that she must know how to handle that freedom when it was granted her. The book has excellent values and an interesting contrast in familial relationships, but is weakened by a contrived element in the plot: the mysterious former owner of Val's home-the house of the blue horse-who is shrouded in mystery, appears in disguise, and proves to be the uncle of the newly bereaved lad who is Val's love in- terest. Ad Kisinger, Grace Gelvin, Bittersweet Autumn. Macrae, 1960. 191p. $2.95. 7-10 Joanna Weber was bitterly disappointed when her prospects for college were cut off by the fact that her father had a heart attack. She was able to get a job as a sales- girl and found the work interesting: she also decided that merchandising might be an excellent career. Although much in the book is patterned plot-including the old love who turns out to be a heel, and the new man who is less glamorous but reliable-the author has been realistic. It is very refreshing to find that Joanna is not an overnight success nor the sole salvation of her family; it is pleasant to note that the defecting old love causes no real pangs and that she likes the second man but decides that she'd really rather save money and go to college. R Kline, Morris. Mathematics and the Physical World. Crowell, 1959. 483p. 10- $6. A discussion of the dominant role of mathematics in the progress of the sciences, written by a professor of mathematics at New York University. The solidity and dif- ficulty of the text imply a need for considerable background in mathematics, and the audience for the book will be limited thereby. Professor Kline propounds the theory that science "has become a collection of mathematical theories adorned with a few 61 physical facts." Eloquent in defense of his position, the author writes with vigor of the contributions of great mathematicians, of the contribution of mathematics to the physical sciences, and of the mathematical solutions of scientific problems. Index is appended. Ad Lathrop, Dorothy Pulis. Follow the Brook. Macmillan, 1960. 40p. illus. 2-3 $3.25. The story of two raccoons, raised in captivity, who escaped from their cage to a new life in the woods. The two boys who had raised Taffy and Tansy tried to lure them back, but realized that the animals were much happier in their new freedom. A pleas- ant book, in which the author's affection for animals is communicated with gentle warmth. The text has a minimal amount of fictionalization; there is little personali- zation of the raccoons. The illustrations have the same gentle quality of the text; this very gentleness, while it is so appealing to those who enjoy books about nature and animals, may be rather static and quiet for some readers. R Lauber, Patricia. All About the Ice Age; maps and drawings by John C. 6-8 Wonsetler; photographs. Random House, 1959. 151p. $1.95. A well-written introduction to the topic, matter-of-fact and brisk in style. The author describes the characteristics of the Ice Age; glacial drift, theories of causation, and flora and fauna of the period; she gives a vivid account of the scientific studies of geologists from Aggasiz to contemporary workers now examining the possibility of another Ice Age in the future. The book gives an excellent picture of the nature of scientific approach in the discussions of the testing of theory by observation, exper- imentation, and comparative studies. The appended index indicates illustrative mate- rial. R Le Grand. How Space Rockets Began. Abingdon, 1960. 64p. illus. $2. 2-5 A romp through history with an author who tells a tall tale with unmitigated and joy- ous madness. The illustrations are a delightful complement to the story, having hu- mor and vivacity that compensate for the cartoon technique. The Windwagon Smith family got to the site of Chee-Ca-Go by putting sails on their prairie schooner, which made it go so fast the horse couldn't keep up, so she had to go in the wagon. With an oversize tea-kettle, the Smiths rigged a contraption that would get them to the moon, but used it instead to get rid of desperadoes. That was the first space rocket, and the tale was discovered in old family records. A hundred years later, the record was found; one week after that, January 31, 1958, the first American satellite was launched. And that's how it began: a frenetic interpretation that may be appreciated by older readers who enjoy robust humor. Ad Lindquist, Willis. Alaska; The Forty-Ninth State; illus. by P. A. Hutchison. 5-7 Whittlesey House, 1959. lllp. $3. A rather general description of Alaskan history and of various aspects of the state as it is today; not an extensive picture is given, but a lively one. The writing style is popularized, with many anecdotes about, and quotations from, Alaskan citizens. Mr. Lindquist's tendency to the dramatic is illustrated by some of the chapter headings: "Are Sled Dogs Doomed"? and "Gold by the Ton!" Not as comprehensive as the books by Stefansson or Butler, but a very readable account, indexed and illustrated with at- tractive black and white drawings. R Marriott, Alice Lee. The First Comers; Indians of America's Dawn; illus. by 7-10 Harvey Weiss. Longmans, 1960. 246p. $4.50. An excellent book on archeological investigations of American Indians in prehistoric times; the book also gives a very vivid picture of the archeologist's work: the pur- 62 pose and the methodology. Miss Marriott writes in an easy conversational style that communicates to the reader the challenge and the satisfaction of this exciting science. The description of patterns of culture of various Indian groups is interwoven with descriptions of techniques and interpretation of data. Appended are a list of State Antiquities Laws (to help the zealous amateur), a lengthy divided bibliography, and an index. R Meyler, Eileen. The Story of Elswyth; illus. by Monica Walker. Roy, 1959. 7-10 136p. $3. An absorbing story of romance and intrigue in pre-Norman England. Elswyth tells of her involvement in the plot to murder Edward II so that his young half-brother Ethelred may become King; the first-person narration is most successfully achieved. The Saxon farm family from which Elswyth comes is real and vivid; the petulant Ethelred and his ambitious mother are also drawn with skill. The plot has pace and suspense, and the atmosphere and detail of the period are integrated with smooth- ness and conviction. R Miers, Earl Schenck. The Storybook of Science; illus. by Jeanne Bendick. . 4-7 Rand McNally, 1959. 159p. $2.95. A very informal presentation of many of the phenomena of science seen in daily life. Through the use of fictionalized and conversational narration, and through the illus- trations-accurate yet jaunty-the aspects of scientific observation which the book comprises are made meaningful and pertinent. Topics covered are electricity, elec- tronics, heat, food, the wheel, guided flight, telescopes and microscopes, and some of the recent advances of the atomic age. Index is appended. Although the book con- tains odd bits of information-for example, the section "The Wonderful Wheel" moves from wheels to roads to bridges ... to railroads-the somewhat random organization does not detract in the very informal style and in this format. Ad Molloy, Anne Stearns (Baker). Three-Part Island; A Maine Mystery; illus. 5-7 with Linoleum Cuts by Arline K. Thomson. Hastings House, 1960. 178p. $2.95. A mystery story set on an island in Maine. The Kingsley family has bought an island formerly used by the Coast Guard; the three children, ages ten, eleven, and twelve, divide the island into three zones. Allan, Aaron, and Amy each had a Kingdom. There are three plot lines: a lost treasure is discovered, an unfriendly group of hunters prowls the island, and there is somebody cutting the lines of the lobstermen. While the solutions of the problems are more realistic than are those of most mysteries, and the story never becomes melodramatic, the number of characters drawn into the book because of the three plot lines makes the story somewhat cluttered. The Maine background is well-drawn; the characterization good, although the main characters are not as sharply distinctive as they are in the author's Blanche of the Blueberry Barrens. NR Moore, Lilian. Bear Trouble; pictures by Kurt Werth. Whittlesey House, K-2 1960. 40p. $2.25. Youngest Chipmunk and Smallest Squirrel were best friends; they had been spanked by Grandfather Chipmunk for a prank-but what they had done was a secret. When a big bear decided to spend all his time near the pond of the small animals, nobody could think of a way to get rid of him. Except Smallest Squirrel and Youngest Chip- munk: they played their old trick, and tickled the bear with leafy branches. Big Bear giggled so much he couldn't stand it; he left, the small animals celebrated, and the culprits were praised rather than spanked. A slight story with little humor and poor nature concepts. 63 R Morgan, Alfred Powell. Aquarium Book for Boys and Girls; illus. with draw- 6-9 ings by the author, and with photographs. Rev. ed. Scribner, 1959. 209p. $3. A revised edition of a 1936 publication, the original title being An Aquarium Book for Boys and Girls. A most useful and comprehensive book for reading as scientific information or for guidance to the aquarium owner. Well indexed (a fuller index than that of the first edition), this is an excellent handbook; well-written, it is interesting reading. Mr. Morgan gives explicit and detailed advice on equipment, feeding, and maintenance; he gives the reader many suggestions for types of fish and for other marine creatures; he supplies clear illustrations. One of the most unusual chapters gives instructions on the setting up of a salt-water aquarium, and a section on filtra- tion has been added. R Murphey, Eleanor Albertson. Nihal; illus. by Ezra Jack Keats. Crowell, 1960. 5-7 40p. $3. An unusual story; set in Ceylon and telling with moving simplicity the story of a small family. Nihal's father, a farmer, has died; the boy loved his stepfather dearly and his love was returned. But Nihal was troubled because he did not want to become a fisherman like his stepfather; he wanted to paint. Because there was affection and patience, the problem was solved with little conflict. A tender picture of a gentle peo- ple-in the Ceylonese background there is just enough local atmosphere to lend color, but not so much as to obtrude. The people are first of all people, and secondly people of Ceylon. The weakness of the book lies in the fact that several aspects of the story are improbable as aspects of village life: inter-marriage between castes is rare, and a boy in Nihal's situation would probably not speak English fluently. Neustadt, Barbara. See: Bible. The First Christmas. NR Norman, Gertrude. A Man Named Lincoln; illus. by Joseph Cellini. Putnam, 2-3 1960. 30p. (A First Biography) $2. A biography of Lincoln, simplified for independent reading; unfortunately the text is oversimplified to the extent that it occasionally loses continuity completely. The au- thor fails to mention the fact that the slaves whose condition aroused Lincoln's sym- pathy were Negroes; not even in describing the Civil War (never so called in the book) are Negroes mentioned. The narrative moves in jerky fashion: "What a surprise when he opened the box And found some books about the law. But Ann got sick and she died. Abe cried." Although the topics are separated by a space (which accounts for the confusing capitalization of "And") there is a mental jump required on the part of the reader. M Norman, Gertrude. A Man Named Washington; illus. by James Caraway. Put- 2-3 nam, 1960. 30p. (A First Biography) $2. A rather superficial biography, accurate in the facts presented and easy to read be- cause of the large type, short sentences, and controlled vocabulary. The weakness of the book is in the abrupt transition from one topic to another: for example, George is being told about the English King. "We must do as he says."-and the text goes on to "I want to see Larry ... ," brother Larry being then in England. A minor weakness is in the unexplained phrase: "Now big boats came from England-the Redcoats had a lot of guns ... "; here the child must know that the Redcoats are the English. Use- ful for reading practice because of the level at which it is written, the book is limited by the writing style. M Palazzo, Tony. Animal Babies; written and illus. by Tony Palazzo. Garden 3-5 City, 1960. 88p. $2.50. yrs. 64 An oversize picture book; the four sections tell of baby animals in forest, farm, home, and zoo. There is a small amount of information given about each animal, but the lines of text are generally dull, and some of the comments require explanation. For exam- ple, ". . . although these dogs look mean, they are gentle and, like most dogs, they love children." There has been no mention of the breed, and the next page shows an- other breed of dog. A further weakness of the book is in the somewhat random selec- tion: the zoo section includes the eagle, the owl, penguins, seals, koalas, kangaroos, elephants, tigers, monkeys, and polar bears; no lion, no giraffe. The eagle is shown in natural habitat, not in a zoo; the seals are shown in a circus setting in one illus- tration-if the purpose is to establish groups of animals found in one situation, this is confusing; if the purpose of the book is to give information about habits of animal young, it is fairly successful although extremely diffuse. Ad Pinkerton, Kathrene Sutherland (Gedney). Tomorrow Island. Harcourt, 1960. 8-10 217p. $3.25. When the Driscoll family went into the Canadian wilderness to see the island and cabin they'd inherited, they were quite unprepared for a luxurious and beautiful home. Since family finances were strained, the idea of taking paying guests was natural, and it was tried with great success. Enjoying the life there, the Driscolls decide to make the island their permanent home. Not an unusual plot, and there is a fairly patterned love interest. The strength of the book lies in the author's ability to create a convinc- ing family situation: the characters are distinctive and the exposition of their inter- relationships is most perceptive. Descriptions of the wilderness scene are excitingly vivid, whether the author is writing of the sparkle of a small blue lake or of the amus- ing antics of a moose calf. Ad Pitkin, Dorothy. Wiser than Winter. Pantheon Books, 1960. 317p. $3.50. 7-9 A sequel to The Grass Was That High, in which Kit Harris-then an adolescent-had come to love Vermont farm life. Now she comes to stay with her old friends, the Clays, for the winter her parents are in Europe. Kit has some difficulties adjusting to the separation, and even more trouble deciding whether she cares most for Jett Clay, or for the difficult young Hungarian D.P., Mike. By the time her winter is over, Kit knows that she is found of both young men, but not yet ready for marriage. The book is somewhat weakened by the complete resolution of all problems: Mike makes friends and wins a scholarship, Kit herself improves her school record, and all ends on a happy note. The resolutions are too pat, but they are all credible; the values in the book-especially the family relationships in the Clay household-are excellent, and the author's insight into Mike's and Kit's disturbed emotions is quite perceptive. R Politi, Leo. Moy Moy. Scribner, 1960. 27p. illus. $2.95. K-2 A charming book about a small girl who lives in the Chinese section of Los Angeles; her real name is Lily, but her three older brothers call her Moy Moy, which means little sister. The book has no plot: it describes the neighborhood briefly and proceeds to the celebration of the Chinese New Year as Moy Moy participates in the fun. The text is simple and warm; the illustrations are very handsome, especially some of the pages in full color. NR Radlauer, Ruth Shaw. About Four Seasons and Five Senses; illus. by William 2-3 Perez. Melmont, 1960. 48p. $1.88. A book written in verse form that interprets some of the sensations that connote each of the four seasons. An example: 65 On days that are sunny, you just have to go Out to the garden and plant things to grow. Then you drum with the shovel and hoe as you sing, For that's how it is, this feeling of spring. What other feelings do you have in the spring? Some of the material in the book is evocative and may contribute to an awareness of environment, but most of the verses are pedestrian in execution and diffuse in con- ception. There is no attempt to explain the actual change of seasons beyond two ref- erences that are vague: "You can tell that the world goes around the sun ... " and "If your part of the world leans toward the sun ... ." There are no descriptions of the five senses. Ad Rosenfield, Bernard. Let's Go to the Supreme Court; illus. by Gustav 2-4 Schrotter. Putnam, 1960. 47p. $1.95. A quite brief introduction to the Supreme Court building, and to the justices them- selves. The information is accurate but is presented in pedestrian style; there is far more data given about the building itself than about the institution of the Supreme Court or about the judges. Useful for a curricular unit on civics, but not well organ- ized. R Sandburg, Carl. Wind Song; illus. by William A. Smith. Harcourt, 1960. 127p. 5-9 $3. A collection of poems previously published, selected by the author as writings suit- able for children, with the addition of sixteen new poems. For the most part the new material is adequate, but with less fresh imagery than the older poetry; not surpris- ing, since the latter has been culled from the writings of over forty years. The book has five divisions in addition to the new poems (a separate.section): "Little People," "Little Album," "Night," "Blossom Themes," and "Wind, Sea, and Sky." R Sawyer, Ruth. The Year of the Christmas Dragon; illus. by Hugh Troy. Vik- 4-5 ing, 1960. 88p. $2.50. A charming Christmas book that combines an unusual background, fantasy kept within bounds, and great originality of conception. The story begins in China, where a small boy becomes friendly with a great dragon; together they fly to Mexico, and here the dragon hibernates for hundreds of years. Many years later the creature is found by a small Mexican boy who looks just slightly Oriental . . and the pattern of friendship is repeated. The dragon not only learns about Christmas, but is instrumental in cel- ebrating in spectacular fashion a Christmas that will always be remembered as the year of the Christmas Dragon. The last part of the book, describing the Mexican Christmas customs, is reverent in tone and completely delightful. R Sechrist, Elizabeth Hough. It's Time for Christmas; written and comp. by 5-8 Elizabeth Hough Sechrist and Janette Woolsey; decorations by Reisie Lonette. Macrae, 1959. 256p. $3.75. A useful collection of material about Christmas and material to be used at the Christ- mas season. The book contains sections on the history of the holiday and on Christ- mas customs; in the part of the book devoted to Christmas carols is biographical ma- terial about the composers. For reading aloud or as a source for program material, the most useful sections are those that comprise legends and traditional stories, Christmas poems, and Christmas stories. An author-title-subject index is appended. R Sendak, Maurice. The Sign on Rosie's Door; story and pictures by Maurice 66 K-2 Sendak. Harper, 1960. 47p. $2.50. An entertaining book that describes, in several episodes, the play patterns of Rosie and her friends. The text has an ingenuous simplicity, and the illustrations have a rakish and highly individual humor. Adults may find the story more enjoyable than do children who are closer to the pattern themselves and therefore see the imagina- tive play as only natural. However, the spontaneity and humor are there for all ages to enjoy, and because Mr. Sendak has not made his children coy or cute, they will be enjoyed by a child audience. NR Seyton, Marion. The Hole in the Hill; illus. by Leonard Shortall. Follett, 1-2 1960. 32p. (A Beginning-To-Read Book) Library ed. $1.08. Trade ed. $1. A family of cave dwellers decided to have a pet: it must be clean and smart, it must like games and hunting. Each member of the family brought back a different animal to try as a pet. Father brought an elephant, but it stuck in the entrance to the cave, the "hole in the hill"; Mother put a rabbit in her basket, but too many other rabbits followed. There was great turmoil on the scene with these and other choices, until the dog brought home by the littlest member of the family chased all the other ani- mals away. Dog would do, they decided. A dull story with poor concepts of the cave- dwelling era, since it is improbable that primitive man deliberately sought pets, or that any caveman would climb on an elephant's back. Illustrations are pedestrian. R Sharp, Elizabeth N. Simple Machines and How They Work; illus. by Ida 2-4 Scheib. Random House, 1959. 83p. $1.95. Large print, short sentences, and explanations that are simple and clear make this an excellent book on the topic for the independent reader. The text discusses the bas- ic machines: the wheel, the screw, the pulley, the inclined plane, the lever, and the wedge; both text and illustrations use familiar objects to demonstrate the application of the basic machines: a shovel, an eggbeater, a pair of scissors. Simple home dem- onstrations are suggested, and these require no special equipment. Useful in curric- ular units for science or home mechanics. R Sperry, Armstrong. All about the Jungle; written and illus. by Armstrong 5-8 Sperry. Random House, 1959. 141p. $1.95. General information about the common attributes of all of the scattered rain forests of the world is given in the first chapter of the book, following a map that shows clearly the distribution of these areas, which cover orie-tenth of the world's land. Separate maps of each general area are included in the appropriate sections, which cover the Brazilian jungle, the Indonesian jungle, and the African jungle; within each section the author describes the peoples and their living habits, and the flora and fauna of the region. A final section discusses the techniques of survival in the jungle -possibly of little use to most readers, yet lending reality to the rather exotic sub- ject. Although the writing style is restrained, the nature of the subject makes the book romantic in its appeal. R Steele, William Owen. The Spooky Thing; illus. by Paul Coker. Harcourt, 4-6 1960. 80p. $2.75. Another hilarious and wildly improbable Tennessee tall tale from a practiced tale- spinner. Two brothers, unequivocally the meanest boys in the world, set off on a trading trip; their return home is beset by a Thing that pursues them and enlivened by some frantic internecine warfare, they encounter other people who tell them tall tales. The dialogue is delightful; the situations and characters wonderfully funny. Suitable as a source for story-telling to any age level. M Stewart, Elizabeth Laing. See Our Pony Farm. Reilly and Lee, 1960. 32p. 1-2 illus. $2.50. 67 Although this book may be used for reading practice by the beginning independent reader, it is of minimal value. The photographs show attractive little boys and be- guiling animals, but they are repetitious photographs. The text seems to have been contrived to fit the pictures and is quite dull. NR Stroyer, Paul. It's a Deal; ad. from the Swedish by Maria Cimino. K-2 McDowell, Obolensky, 1960. 24p. $2.95. A read-aloud picture book, in which Willy trades his blue dog for the black cat be- longing to Clarissa Jones. After pages and pages of trades, Willy gets the blue dog back by trading it for the black cat which he has just received from a dentist who wanted Willy's steam shovel so that he could do an extraction for a rhinoceros. The device is over-extended and many of the interruptions in the text seem labored in an unsuccessful attempt at humor. M Thayer, Jane. The Pussy Who Went to the Moon; illus. by Seymour Fleish- K-2 man. Morrow, 1960. 32p. $2.75. A pussycat who lived with an old man and an old woman kept trying to get to the moon. First she was stranded on a roof, then in a tree; she had to be rescued. When she took a rocket to the moon, the old man and the old woman had a rocket built so that they could travel to the moon and rescue their cat. When they got back, they were given a prize (seventy billion dollars, just the cost of their rocket ship) for hav- ing made the first trip to the moon, and they all lived happily ever after. The author has written this fantasy without the humor that prevailed in Second-Story Giraffe, so that the story seems rather flat nonsense, its one attraction being the topical appeal of space-flight, and this treatment of it would be loudly rejected by children. R Uchida, Yoshiko. Mik and the Prowler; illus. by William M. Hutchinson. Har- 4-6 court, 1960. 122p. $2.95. A cheerful story about a boy of ten, Mik Watanabe, who wanted very much to be thought reliable and therefore was delighted when a neighbor asked him to look after her plants and her cats while she was away. All went well until the cats were accused of eating the pet birds of the grouchy man next door-and some mysterious prowler got in and ravaged the pantry. Nobody blamed Mik, but he was happy when the culprit was eventually discovered. The book gives a pleasant picture of a family of Japanese background-ordinary people-with no obtrusion of intergroup problems. The family relationships are excellent, the book being somewhat weakened by the characteriza- tion of some of the adults: the grouchy Mr. Potts who thaws completely, the friendly ice cream man, the owner of the cats, Mrs. Whipple, who is rather stereotyped with her cats, rag rugs, garden, and a zeal for feeding cake or cookies to hungry boys. R Von Hagen, Victor Wolfgang. Maya; Land of the Turkey and the Deer; illus. by 7- Alberto Beltran. World, 1960. 127p. $2.95. An absorbing study of the Mayan culture, told in narrative form and beginning in the year 1515. In describing the ceremonies, dress, housing, games, and agricultural and hunting patterns as they occur in the boyhood of Ah Tok, a boy of thirteen, the author gives a most vivid picture of the Mayas. In addition to the picture of daily life, the reader gets a broad view of Mayan history: the migration of the first comers, the building of an elaborate and skilled society, the growth of cities, of writing and a complicated calendar, and of the intricacies of religious ritual. The book concludes with the struggles against white invaders. Illustrations are marvelously detailed. Ap- pended are a chronological chart, a bibliography, and an index that gives pronuncia- tion for Mayan words. R Well, Lisl. Bitzli and the Big Bad Wolf. Houghton, 1960. 47p. illus. Trade K-2 ed. $3. Library ed. $3.75. 68 An engaging book, with gay illustrations and a text that is original and humorous. Bitzli is a small dog who is only too conscious of the fact that he, as a dog of Swit- zerland, had to protect his children from the fabled wolf. Foolish but valiant, Bitzli becomes involved in a school celebration of the Christmas season: the children of Zurich's special day in honor of Saint Silvester. The writing has a quite distinctive jaunty simplicity, and there is a particular literary satisfaction in the fact that nei- ther the background nor the children in the story ever take precedence over the doughty Bitzli. M Wiseman, Bernard. Morris Is a Cowboy; A Policeman and a Baby Sitter; story 1-2 and pictures by B. Wiseman. Harper, 1960. 64p. (I Can Read Books) Trade ed. $1.95. Library ed. $2.19 net. A nonsense book about the hero of Morris the Moose for beginning independent read- ers. Cartoon style drawings on every page illustrate the three episodes of the book. While the book extends to thinness the situation of a moose assuming the clothing and behavior of a human being, there is genuine humor in some of the details: for exam- ple, Morris gives the horse a turn to ride, and the horse yells, "Yippppeeee I " In the third episode, Morris becomes confused when telling a story in his role as a ba- bysitter, and dialogue becomes somewhat contrived. R Wright, Helen. Great Adventures in Nursing; edited by Helen Wright and 7- Samuel Berder Rapport. Harper, 1960. 288p. $3.50. A compilation of true stories by and about nurses, each by a different author and all reprinted. Some of the selections are excerpts, some complete; there is, of course, great variation in style: "Adventures of a Nurse's Aide" is over thirty pages long, sprightly and informal, humorous; "Mother Alphonsa" is a bit over four pages, rather trite and flowery. Some of the subjects are famous: Sister Kenny or Florence Nightingale; some are prototypes: the male nurse in wartime, the visiting nurse in a large city. Most of the selections are interesting enough to hold the attention of the casual reader, and for the reader with a special interest in nursing, the book will hold a special fascination. Ad Yashima, Taro. The Golden Footprints; by Taro Yashima and Hatoju Muku; 4-6 illus. by Taro Hashima. World, 1960. 55p. $2.95. Translated and adapted by Mr. Yashima from the original version of Mr. Muku, a contemporary Japanese author. This is the story of a boy who had a captured baby fox; Shotaro couldn't get the fox to eat ... yet it lived. The boy found that the ani- mal was being fed by the parent foxes, who had made their den in the cave where the family kept stored food. He didn't tell his parents, and when the baby fox escaped, Shotaro kept his father from shooting them. When Shotaro was buried in a snow slide, he was rescued by the foxes, who dug him out. The denoument is not quite credible, and the pace of the tale is slow, but the writing style has a quiet dignity and the im- plications of kindness and gratitude are sympathetically presented. Illustrations in black, white, and yellow are handsome: vivid, impressionistic, and physically inte- grated with the text in a way that sustains the mood of the story. R Yates, Brock Wendel. Destroyers and Destroyermen; The Story of Our "Tin- 8- Can" Navy. Harper, 1959. 207p. illus. $3. Comprehensive, detailed, and well organized. Mr. Yates, who has naval experience, gives a vivid history of the destroyer navy as it developed from the Civil War's first example of a tiny launch attacking a much larger vessel. The destroyer, as the pri- mary anti-submarine weapon, will-Mr. Yates states-not be outmoded in the future because no craft can replace the advantageous combination of small size, great speed, and weapons-carrying capacity. The models of destroyers in use today are described, and the problems of refueling and automation discussed. One of the inter- 69 esting sections of the book describes a day on a destroyer: the author conveys ad- mirably a sense of intricate and ordered pattern. A very extensive glossary is ap- pended. R Yates, Raymond Francis. A Boy and a Battery; rev. ed.; illus. with photo- 5-8 graphs and drawings by the author. Harper, 1959. 119p. $2.50. A revised edition of the 1942 publication, with three new chapters added: "How To Make a Thermoelectric Cell," "The Solar Battery," and "The Atomic Battery." The text gives some historical background of electrical pioneering, discusses terminol- ogy and theories of conduction, and gives instructions for simple demonstration equipment. Text and illustrations are clear and the writing is concise without being dry. A book which may be used for home projects, home mechanics units, or group recreational programs. R Yates, Raymond Francis. The Boys' Book of Magnetism; rev. ed.; illus. with 6-9 photographs. Harper, 1959. 161p. $2.75. A revised edition of the 1941 publication, written in a lively and informal style. A chapter has been added that describes some of the recent progress to which magnet- ism and electromagnetism have contributed: the electron microscope, video tape, stereophonic equipment, and new techniques for man-made fusion or fission. Photo- graphs and text offer instruction for the making of demonstration projects and games. An enjoyable and informative book. R Zim, Herbert Spencer. How Things Grow; illus. by Gustav Schrotter. Morrow, 4-6 1960. 64p. $2.50. The author discusses the fact that one of the things common to all forms of life is growth; that growth may be achieved by means of accretion or assimilation: that the growth patterns of parts of an organ or animal may differ. Most of the book is de- voted to the human animal; of physical, emotional, mental, and social growth, the first is given most attention. Heredity and genetics are introduced; the variations of growth rate dependent on age and sex are described. The text is simple and clear, covering perhaps too much material, but giving accurate information with competence. The illustrations are generally adequate, but might, in several instances, have been more clear: for example one drawing shows a "baby just born" lifting its head quite a distance while lying on its back. Librarians will note that the book contains illustra- tions of the human embryo. Ad Zolotow, Charlotte (Shapiro). The Little Black Puppy; illus. by Lilian Obligado. K-2 Golden Press, 1960. 30p. Trade ed. $1.00. Library ed. $2.00. A slight but engaging story about a boy whose puppy was considered a nuisance by all the other members of the family. The little boy kept telling them that the puppy would improve his behavior as he grew . . . and the puppy did. Soon he stopped running like a rabbit and digging holes like a mole and eating indiscriminately like a goat; he be- haved like a dog. Illustrations are attractive although not distinguished; pages are too full. The fact that other children in the family didn't like the puppy is not quite believ- able, although the fact aids in structure of the plot. A strong appeal to the beginning reader lies in the device of repetition of both phrase and incident.
