Basic Reading: Animals and Nature

 










Basic reading. A memory collection of books, comics, and magazines I read from elementary (McQueeney) through middle school (Briesemeister). Ranging from very simple to what I would describe as ‘cusp books’, that would lead to more adult reading. They will come in batches; some are representative parts of series. Some we had; some we saw in libraries. Most have appeared on the blog before, but I think arranged here by category and time they can be more illuminating of certain aspects of my childhood.

Since the beginning an appreciation of animals and Nature was always a big element that was encouraged in us kids. We had Walt Disney’s Wonders of the Animal World since before I can remember. The publisher’s date is 1964. That animal interest peaked with our parents getting us The Wildlife Encyclopedia (20 Vols.).  I got that book about magnifying glasses because it came with a cheap plastic magnifying 'glass'. Sherlock Holmes!

I can't get Blogger to embiggen these pictures. I'll try again later.
