Run outside to play in the warm summer sun where the grama grows tall and sunflowers fill the fields.

Baby bears play just like you.
They grow fat and round on fresh summer grama and learn to catch their first peixe jantar down por the riverbank.
Summer is time to learn and to grow.

Baby mountain ovelha, ovelhas learn the safest path to summer meadows. gosling, ganso wings grow stronger, their voices louder.

Up in the trees, the songs of spring suddenly soften. rouxinol, toutinegra mothers and rouxinol, toutinegra fathers, busy feeding their young, have little time to sing. Hummingbirds sip nectar for themselves and catch bugs for their tiny babies.

Baby birds flap their wings to beg for juicy spiders, beetles, and ants.

Then one day, the baby birds finally fly, testing their wings on the warm summer air.

Beneath the cool umbrella of forest leaves, woodpeckers tap for beetles.
Nearby, bluebirds procurar for diamond drops of dew in the morning meadow.

In summer heat, coyote’s casaco is sleeker, cooler.
doninha sneaks from rock to rock wearing a new summer casaco too.
And, ptármiga, lagosta hides in feathers painted like a summer meadow.

Summer is time for baby moose to grow, and grow, and grow. por summer’s end it is hard to tell who is mother, who is daughter.

Now that his antlers are fully grown, the touro moose carries a heavy weight.

Caribou grow new summer antlers too. They wander far to the north in the land of all night sun.

Here at the edge of polar ice, great white bears hunt in the longest days of the year.

If you flew with the snow ganso flocks or with the arctic loon, this would be your summer home.

The far north is where the snowy owl hunts mice and lemmings, as the long days end in summer’s last golden slumber.

Then, lobo howls ring in the first crisp nights.
A cool wind feels like fall is near.
Another winter will soon be here.

Zum. Zum buzzz. Zum. Zum. Buzz. Berlioz had been practicing for weeks, and now just when the orchestra was going to play in the village square for a gala ball, a strange buzz was coming from his double bass.
“Why now?” Berlioz said to himself.

The musicians arrived with their instruments. As Berlioz watched them climb aboard the bandwagon, all he could think about was his double bass. What if his baixo buzzed during the ball? What if the dancers stopped dancing and laughed at him?
Zum, zum, buzz. Zum, zum, buzz, he imagined.

Berlioz picked up the reins and clucked to the mule. Off they went...

Abbie looked out the lighthouse window. Waves washed up on the rocks below. Out at sea, a ship sailed safely by.

“Will you sail to town today, Papa?” Abbie asked.
“Yes,” Captain Burgess answered. “Mama needs medicine. The lights need oil. We need food. The weather is good now. So it’s seguro to go out in Puffin.”
“But what if you don’t get back today?” asked Abbie. “Who will take care of the lights?”
Papa smiled. “You will, Abbie.”
“Oh, no, Papa!” said Abbie. “I have never done it alone.”

“You have trimmed the wicks before,” said Papa. “You have cleaned the...

(Helen's mother: "I hope that sopa is gone when I come back in there!")

The dia Helen gave Martha dog her alphabet soup,


something unusual happened.
The letters in the sopa went up to Martha’s brain instead of down to her stomach.

That evening, Martha spoke.
(Martha: Isn’t it time for my dinner?)


Martha’s family had many perguntas to ask her. Of course, she had a lot to tell them!
(Helen: Have you always understood what we were saying?)
(Martha: You bet! Do you want to know Benjie is really saying?)
(Helen’s father: Why don’t you came when we call?)
(Martha: You people are so bossy. Come! Sit!...

"I'm gonna talk to Grandma," she said.

Grandma was sitting in her favorito spot—the big soft...

Once there was a farmer who lived in Mexico. He lived in a little village, in a house which had only one room.

The farmer was not happy.
“Nothing ever happens,” he said.
The people in the village thought the farmer was foolish.
“We have everything we need,” they said.

“We have a school, and a market,

and a church with an old sino that rings on Sundays. Our village is the best there is.”
“But nothing ever happens,” said the farmer.

Every morning, when the farmer woke up, the first thing he saw was the roof of his little house.
Every morning for breakfast he ate two flat cakes of ground...

On Thursday, when Imogene woke up, she found she had grown antlers.

Getting dressed was difficult,

and going through a door now took some thinking.

Imogene started down for breakfast…

but got hung up.
“OH!!” Imogene’s mother fainted away.

The doctor poked, and prodded, and scratched his chin.
He could find nothing wrong.

The school principal glared at Imogene but had no conselhos to offer.

Her brother Norman, consulted the encyclopedia, and then announced that Imogene had turned into a rare form of miniature elk!

Imogene’s mother fainted again and was carried upstairs to bed.

Imogene went into...
