The Mystery Beast of Ostergeest
The Smallest Tadpole's War in the Land of Mysterious Waters
Author: Diane Swearingen
Publisher: Smallest Tadpole
ISBN: 9780692509746
Category : Florida
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
In the 1860's a Northern newspaper referred to Florida as the "smallest tadpole in the dirty pool of secession." Political power in the state was held largely by wealthy white planters. In early 1861, Florida was a rural frontier state that had joined the Union just fifteen years before. Its population of 140,000 was by far the smallest of any of the states that formed the Confederacy. Nearly 63,000 of the population were African Americans, most of whom were slaves working in an agricultural-based economy. The majority of the white population was relatively poor and rural, with a smaller number of tradespeople and their families living in small towns. This work of historical fiction tells the story of one Florida family in the 1860s.

Pinkerton, Behave!
Author: Steven Kellogg
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0451481526
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Pinkerton doesn't understand his owner’s commands. When told to come, he jumps out the window. When asked to fetch, he destroys the slippers instead. Pinkerton’s desperate owners take him to obedience school, but he flunks out in record time. Then one night a burglar breaks into their house, and Pinkerton is able to put his bad habits to good use. This silly charmer of a story was included on the Booklist and Horn Book best of the year lists and inspired four sequels about the impossibly clueless but irresistibly sweet Pinkerton. Now, in honor of its 35th anniversary, Steven Kellogg has updated the art and text (most notably removing the gun that appeared in the original edition), and has written an introductory note about the book’s history.
