STORIES FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES!

I learned to create websites by making these fun sites from stories and images in the public domain.

Most of these stories were downloaded from Project Gutenberg.org. The stories at PROJECT GUTENBERG are now in the Public Domain and may be freely downloaded and used or re-distributed. The images in most of the pictures are colorful and amazing. Lots of fun to both read and look at the pictures!

Here is a link to a very interesting topic entitled: The Lost Tools of Learning.

The ‘Lost Tools of Learning’ exposition is an interesting overview of changes in the education system that that may be of interest, especially to primary school teachers.

ENJOY!

THE QUARANTINE OF ALEXANDER ABRAHAM

Author: Lucy Maude Montgomery, 1918
(~15 minute read. No illustrations.)

This delightful short story was written about the Spanish Flu Pandemic in 1918, about one hundred years before our recent, global Covid Pandemic. This story by L.M. Montgomery is an endearing and comical story and very relevant to the recent 2019 Co-Vid pandemic.

A classic favorite for young children, and children at heart at all ages.

WEE PETER PUG

(~2 minute read with Colorful Illustrations.)

Illustrated story of a cute, but mischievous pug puppy.

WALTER CRANES COLORING BOOK

This book contains twelve coloured and twelve outline full-page colouring pages that can be used in the project of your choice. The colouring pages are lovely!

There are other similar books with lovely pictures by Walter Crane and other children’s authors at Project Gutenberg.

ANIMAL CHILDREN.

Author: Edith Brown Kirkwood, Illustrated by M.T. Ross
(~5 minute read Colorful Illustrations.)

Lots of colorful pictures of cute cartoon animals in comical costumes. Great picture book for youngsters.

PET MOUSE HOUSE

This story is not from PROJECT GUTENBERG. It is a compilation of pictures I took shortly after we moved from a country home to a 55+ senior’s condo in the city.

When we moved to the city, our cat came with us. However, in our new city she was not allowed to roam free. So she became quite bored at times. Who knew a big plastic box with real, live mice would make such a wonderful cat TV? (It was wonderful for the cat… not so much for the cat owner (me) who had to keep the box clean and the mice happy.)

One by one each of our wee mousies went to the great mouse house in the sky. By that time, the mouse-keeper (me) was very thankful. The cat had taken up a new hobby of sitting on the window sill where she could safely growl hiss at the neighbour’s cat when it walked past her new throne in the front room!

She was happy, and so was the cat momma! (Me!)
