Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Selden received his B.A. from Yale, where he was a member of the Elizabethan Club and contributed to the literary magazine. He spent three summer sessions at Columbia University and, after college, studied for a year in Rome on a Fulbright Scholarship. People often asked Selden how he got the idea for The Cricket in Times Square. \"One night I was coming home on the subway, and I did hear a cricket chirp in the Times Square subway station. The story formed in my mind within minutes. An author is very thankful for minutes like those, although they happen all too infrequently.\" The popular Cricket series grew to seven titles, including Tucker's Countryside and The Old Meadow. In 1973, The Cricket in Times Square was made into an animated film. Selden wrote more than fifteen books, as well as two plays. His storytelling blends the marvelous with the commonplace realities of life, and it was essential to him that his animal characters display true emotions and feelings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Age: 6-9\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSquare Fish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePub Date: \u003cspan\u003eMay 31, 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780374390402\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.5\" H x 7.6\" L x 5.2\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e132 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epaperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37596593750202,"sku":"9780374390402","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/cricketintimessquare.jpg?v=1686942623"},{"product_id":"on-the-banks-of-plum-creek-by-laura-ingalls-wilder-garth-williams","title":"On the Banks of Plum Creek: Full Color Edition (#4) by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Garth Williams","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in the history of the Little House books, this new edition features Garth Williams' interior art in vibrant, full color, as well as a beautifully redesigned cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave their little house on the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Minnesota.

The Boyer family relocates to the backwoods of Florida and plans to begin farming strawberries. Their new neighbors resent the Boyers and conspire to stir up trouble. Soon a feud erupts between the two families. The simple compassion of one woman ultimately saves both families from the looming hatred and destruction. Lenski paints a picture of Florida backwoods life with tales of frontier schools, social gatherings, and neighborly kindness.--\u003cstrong\u003eHomeschooling Today\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eIn addition to illustrating the first four Betsy-Tacy books, \u003cstrong\u003eLois Lenski\u003c\/strong\u003e (1893-1974) was the 1946 Newberry Medal winning author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eStrawberry Girl\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Age: 8-12\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarperCollins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePub Date:April 26, 2005\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.51\" H x 7.66\" L x 5.12\" W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e208 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback ISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780064405850\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePub Date: January 1, 1945\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.1\" H x 8.6\" L x 6.5\" W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover ISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9780397301096\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"paperback","offer_id":42982569083066,"sku":"9780064405850","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"hardcover","offer_id":42982569115834,"sku":"9780397301096","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/straw.jpg?v=1703905200"},{"product_id":"the-long-winter-by-laura-ingalls-wilder-garth-williams","title":"The Long Winter: Full Color Edition (#6) by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Garth Williams","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sixth book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's treasured Little House series, and the recipient of a Newbery Honor.

The following year he started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches, and poems --including \"Mandalay,\" \"Gunga Din,\" and \"Danny Deever\"--which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. While living in Vermont with his wife, an American, Kipling wrote \u003ci\u003eThe Jungle Books\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJust So Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKim\u003c\/i\u003e--which became widely regarded as his greatest long work, putting him high among the chronicles of British expansion. Kipling returned to England in 1902, but he continued to travel widely and write, though he never enjoyed the literary esteem of his early years.
