Books with author Emma K. Gordon

Torus and his friends Chello and Nevi are three young rats, living with their clan in the walls and floors of a run-down apartment building. Life is hard for a young rat. They have to deal with all the pressures of coming of age, and they must also manage the perils of an urban rat’s life: avoiding the humans that share their building, dogs, cats, poison, and traps, not to mention finding enough food to eat. When an aggressive flock of pigeons begins to invade their main source of food – a dumpster in the park across the street – the clan is faced with a choice. Should they resist the birds? Or cooperate and try to live in peace with them? When the leaders decide to try to work with the pigeons, most of the clan goes along. Torus and his friends go along grudgingly as well, after all, as pups, they don’t have much influence. As winter progresses, however, things go from bad to worse. The clan begins to starve, the pigeons take more and more control, and the leaders seem powerless to stop them. Finally, when the pigeons begin moving into the building itself, Torus, Chello, and Nevi decide to take matters into their own hands. With help from Mr. Nile, a wise old rebellious rat, and some other unlikely friends, they make a secret plan to resist the invading birds and protect their home and families. Will the pigeons take over the building completely, or will the Red Raiders save the clan?

Excerpt from The Comprehensive Method, of Teaching ReadingThis book presents carefully graded lessons for the beginner in reading. The simple stories and rhymes are grouped in divisions that correspond with the divisions of the accompany ing manual. The reading divisions illustrate the phonic facts taught in the corresponding phonic divisions.This does not mean that the reading lessons included under any one division Should be completed as the phonic facts of that division are developed. The phonic drill Should be kept well in advance. The reading of a given division may lap over into the time spent in developing the phonic facts of the next division. Read in this way, each lesson will be a review of the phonic facts already taught. N 0 problem will appear in a read ing lesson that has not been solved in the previous phonic drill. Because the mechanical difficulties of the page are mastered outside of the book in the period devoted to drill, the child's mind, when reading, is free to attend to the thought expressed, and he reads With increasing ease and appreciation. He has at his command more than the vocabulary of this book. He has gained much power to solve the word problems that he meets in supplementary reading.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
