Books with author George Barton

Books are an excellent way to stimulate infants’ sight, especially books with bright colours and bold images. Recognising and identifying colours and shapes is an important part of a child’s development and forms the basis of reading, writing, maths and science. The process of reading to your infant/child can also help them to learn language skills and it encourages learning. And, of course, books are a fun way to learn! Introduce your infant to colours and shapes with The Little Bloomer’s Book of Colours and Shapes. Pre-school children will also enjoy the bright colours and objects and repeating the rhyming sentences as you read to them.

In the 50s and early 60s entry to the Merchant Navy was a rite of passage and an opportunity for thousands of young people to see the world.'Tides of Change' is a passionate and exiting chronological memoir of a young man’s journey into adulthood and maturity in the British Merchant navy.These memoirs capture a time when many political and social changes were taking place throughout the world from Iceland to the West Indies, South America, the USA, the far reaches of the Orient and Australia.While these memoirs are particularly written for family and friends, I am sure they would bring back many memories for ex-seaman and their families from this bygone era - and, possibly some appreciation from the new breed of merchant navy professionals.

Excerpt from The Long Straight RoadIn each instance the sun was setting so squarely at the foot of the street that the fiery red disk seemed about to slide down and across the narrow way and to close it like a gate. Now it lost shape in a cloud of smoke, which it was pouring full of lurid glory, as though it were blazing in the heart of its own vapor, caused by an ineffectual attempt at quenching. This spectacle, too, was plutonic, and its vast and gloomy majesty harmonized well with its foreground.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When Sula the Pet Sitter takes Bugsy the Pug and his friends for a walk in the park, she doesn’t bank on Bugsy running off and getting into trouble. Luckily for Bugsy, there are plenty of offers of help! But will the attempts to help him succeed? Will he be reunited with Sula and his friends? And what lesson has he learned from his experience? This story will be enjoyed by young children. It incorporates the values and characteristics associated with positive moral development such as kindness, co-operation and empathy. The questions at the end of the book can be used to aid children’s understanding and to initiate and encourage conversations with them about positive behaviours and values. Helping children to develop these characteristics can help to promote positive moral development - the process whereby children learn to distinguish between right and wrong and develop their attitudes towards others.
