Freebie of the Day

 

The Brownies Primer by Palmer Cox (PDF ebook) – One of the most popular children's illustrators in the late 1800s was Palmer Cox, who created the amazing "Brownies" for the pages of ST. NICHOLAS magazine in the 1870s, and later a whole series of Brownies books. Cox drew incredibly intricate pictures of his playful Brownies, often with hundreds of brownies on every page. Amazingly, each brownie character was unique and possessed its own personality. If your kids have never seen these before, they are in for a real treat. They are a little like "Where's Waldo?" in that you can just about make a game of every full page illustration, trying to spot your favorite brownies.
The Brownies Primer is a fine beginning reader primer using many delightful illustrations from various Cox books. Use it for reading, for coloring, or just for plain fun, exploring these amazing pictures. Be sure to leave a comment if you'd like to see more of the Brownies, as we have a couple more rare educational Brownie resources we could also share here if there is a demand for them. Enjoy!

Starting the New Year off right!

Happy New Year! I hope that 2011 brings you happiness and blessings! I've decided to start the year off by focusing on reading and activities to go with favorite books. One of our favorites is Dr. Seuss. Benjamin loves for me to read Dr. Seuss to him using silly voices.  After reading one of his favorites, we visit Seusville!  This site offers lots of games and activities!  I'm going to try to link an activity site with our favorite books as the year progresses. If you have a favorite book that your children love to read please share!  I would love to hear what your children love to hear you read.
