Books in Bendy Tales Series series

This is a new edition of “The Tale of Solomon Owl,” originally published in 1917 by Grosset & Dunlap Publishers, New York. Part of the project Bedtime-Tales Series of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1917—not a facsimile reprint.

If you happened to catch Solomon Owl resting among the thick hemlocks near the foot of Blue Mountain, where he lives, you will think that he looks strangely like a human being. He has no “horns,” or ear-tufts, such as some of the other owls wear; and his great pale face, with its black eyes, makes him seem very wise and solemn. But there is another very interesting thing about him: he has lots of forest friends. One of the most important things a parent can do for their child’s education is to read to them. Arthur Scott Bailey’s books will hold the child’s interest, expand their intelligence and foster their love of reading. But just a few words would be enough to describe Bailey’s beautiful books: Charming, sweetly humorous, simply and well-written children’s books. About the Author: Arthur Scott Bailey was born in Vermont on November 15, 1877. He was an American writer, intellectual and author of more than forty children's books, including the famous “Tuck-Me-In Tales,” the “Sleepy-Time Tales,” and the “Slumber-Town Tales.” One of his most admirable qualities was the fact that he never used language that talked down to children; instead, he frequently used words beyond their average vocabulary in an effort to broaden their knowledge. Bailey was a graduate of Harvard. He died on October 17, 1949.

Bendy Tales are brightly illustrated board books that humorously describe different animals for the delight of toddlers. Each book is shaped like its title animal--and each brightly colored animal shape has a real tail made of bendable material that's covered with soft cloth. The tail can bend into a hook, so that the book can be hung from a crib rail, or high-chair edge, or any other firm platform. The pages--all color illustrated from edge to edge--are constructed of extra heavy cardboard that withstands rough treatment from tiny hands. The text is presented on a level that preschoolers will understand and enjoy. What makes a monkey a monkey? A long tail for swinging around--but many other features, too. Children discover the surprising answers here.

Nobody ever spoke of old Spot's master as "old Johnnie Green." Yet the two—boy and dog—were almost exactly the same age. Somehow Spot grew up faster than Johnnie. He had stopped being a puppy by the time his young master learned to walk. And when Johnnie was big enough to play around the farm buildings his parents felt sure that he was safe so long as "old Spot," as they called the dog, was with him.
