Just what is jealousy? Woodleigh Marx Hubbard takes this universal feeling and portrays it in a way that will help kids understand and deal with a powerful emotion. Jealousy is a nasty beast that might seem bigger than you can handle when it comes barging through your door, especially when it's backed up by a greedy rat, an envious snake and an angry hornet. But the choice is up to you: Will you let them barge in or will you kick out these uninvited visitors? Through vibrant, energetic art and vivid text, Woodleigh Marx Hubbard applauds the power within each of us to confront our fears and take action.

An account of our common heritage from the dawn of civilization to the coming of the Greeks. After an introduction, giving a resume of what is known of prehistoric times, it begins with Egypt, describing the land, its architecture, civilization, life and religion, and treats successively the Assyrians and Babylonians, the Hebrews, Hittites, Persians and Phoenicians. Details of political events are subordinated to the record of those things which lie at the foundation of our modern civilization.

The correct 1957 first printing [Bill McBride's Reference] in a first issue dust jacket with the letter "G" (for Gidget) above the 2.75 publisher's price on the dj flap. Author's photo on back of jacket. The jacket is in good looking shape but has very old scotch-tape repairs neatly inside on edges in areas and at top and bottom spine - not noticeable from the exterior of the jacket. Very scarce when scouting in the field and scarce in the online market as well.
