  • Flookie,The Fish Who Wouldn't Be Caught

    George Green

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Oct. 26, 2016)
    George Green has written a number of children’s books, all of which have character-building messages for young children. This story is about Flookie, a fish who learned the hard way! He found himself hooked by a fisherman, but fought as hard as he could to free himself. He got to live out the rest of his life in his home, the Kelp Forest, and knew the mistake he had made. Feeling it was his responsibility to tell all the other fish how not to get caught, he opened his own Fish School. One day, while teaching the students how to stay together and watch out for lines and hooks, a naughty fish, Sparky, decided he could handle anything; he didn’t need to listen to Flookie. But poor Sparky was wrong! Flookie's story is one that will inspire youngsters to listen to elders who teach them how to live life safely, and how to stay out of trouble. After all, most times, teachers and parents really do know best.

  • Perky, The Pig Who Didn't Like Being Dirty

    George Green

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 12, 2016)
    George Green has written a number of children’s books, all of which have character-building messages for young children. In this book we meet Perky, the pig who does not like being dirty. This might sound strange to some who only ever imagine pigs to be flopping around in the mud but, indeed, most pigs are clean animals; much cleaner than one would think. Perky believes that staying clean is certainly important if you want to keep free of germs and bugs. Not all the pigs that live with Perky agree with him, however, and neither does Sandy, the little farm girl. At first Perky is nervous to speak his mind and face doubt from the others, but he soon overcomes their doubt in him and finds the courage to tell them, “Stay clean and stay healthy, so that all of us can grow up healthy and be able to enjoy the good things that life has to offer.”

    George Green, Nidhom

    language (, May 27, 2017)
    George Green has written a number of children’s books, all of which have character-building messages for young children. Patience is certainly a virtue most young children need to learn. Come Christmas, Easter, Birthdays and other special days, it can be difficult for parents to keep surprises from them! George wrote this book with the hope that it would show young kids how important being patient really is, and that the benefits can sure outweigh the often tedious wait. The best example - of course - is Charlie, the caterpillar who could not wait to become a butterfly! When Charlie first crawls out of his egg, all he wants to do is be a butterfly. While most butterflies know how long it takes to change from a caterpillar into a butterfly, Charlie was not born with this patience! But, as he eats and grows and eats and grows, his mother reminds him that he does have this important skill, the bottom-line of which is that all good things come to those who wait!For more books by George Green, please visit www.georgegreen.netPlease note ** This eBook has been formatted according to Fire HDX - appearance may vary across devices.

  • Maori Lore: The Traditions of the Maori People, With the More Important of Their Legends

    George Grey

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, June 17, 2012)
    The first edition of Polynesian Mythology and Maori Legends from the pen of the late Sir George Grey, saw the light in 1855; the.seeond edition was published in 1885. It is a difficult railtter now to procure a copy of either of these editions. Through comparatively recent events the appearance in London of Maori contingents more particularly interest in theM aori people has greatly developed, and there are many who would gladly avail themselves of an opportunity to become acquainted with the past of the race, so far as a knowledge of that past is obtainable from their traditions. It has not always been recognised that the History of theM aori and theL egends of theM aori are quite different things; the legends and traditions fill this volume; the history will appear later. By the strict process of woid-for-word transmission which characterized the teaching in their whavekuras and schools the traditions of theM aori people have come down through the centuries, so that to-day they are found in the work of Sir George Grey set forth in almost as perfect a condition as they were when first they became the chief part of theM aori smental existence. In Polynesian Mythology the legends are to be found not only in their correct form, but the language may almost be said to be a literal translation of the words in which they were originally clothed. In the preface to his first editionS ir George Grey wrote, I fear in point of care and language it will not satisfy the critical reader, but I can truly say that I have had no leisure to carefully revise it. The translation is also faithful. ... I have said that the translation is close and faithful; it is so to the full extent of my powers and from the little time I have had at my disposal.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy
