Education:
I could find some translated books in English, not in other languages. However I must share with my usual readers this important classic children's literature writer, not so well-known as his books deserve.
Reading propels the mind of children and adults. There is so much in our world to learn about. And although there will be many places we will not actually be able to travel to, we can read about them. When we read about such places, we get a sense of what it's like to be there. We can imagine, even more clearly.
Reading is one of the fundamental skills in education. And children's literature one of the best resources to help students to learn reading and writing.
