Sinopse

In "The Little Washingtons' Travels," Lillian Elizabeth Roy masterfully intertwines adventure with moral lessons, capturing the spirit of early 20th-century children'Äôs literature. Through the enchanting journey of the Washington family, Roy employs vivid imagery and engaging dialogue, crafting a narrative that not only entertains but also educates young readers about geography, culture, and the importance of family bonds. The book is notable for its rich descriptions and playful yet reflective tone, reminiscent of the works of other authors of the time, such as Frances Hodgson Burnett. Lillian Elizabeth Roy, an influential figure in children's literature, drew inspiration from her own childhood experiences and travels across America, where she witnessed a diverse tapestry of cultures and landscapes. Her background as an educator further shaped her belief in the power of storytelling as a tool for teaching young minds about morality and empathy. Roy's personal insights are reflected in her characters, who navigate both the joys and challenges of family life while embarking on their travels. "The Little Washingtons' Travels" is highly recommended for parents and educators seeking to foster a love of reading in children. Its blend of adventure and moral undertones makes it an excellent choice for family reading time, sparking discussions about values and the world we live in.

    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
    The mouse ran up the clock. 
    The clock struck one, 
    The mouse ran down, 
    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
    WITHIN the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in winter-time. 
    Besides the Mamma Mouse there were three children, named Hickory and Dickory and Dock. There had once been a Papa Mouse as well; but while he was hunting for food one night he saw a nice piece of cheese in a wire box, and attempted to get it. The minute he stuck his head into the box, however, it closed with a snap that nearly cut his head off, and when Mamma Mouse came down to look for him he was quite dead. The story becomes better after this somber opening, trust me. Find out why those mice ran up that clock.

    Why talk about water? This vital compound is not equal to anything that gives life to humans, animals and plants; in short, to the entire ecosystem on Earth. How vital can it be to have water to drink to quench your thirst, to accompany our food and to make our environment livable? Many of us ignore the importance of this, either by squandering this common good, or by using it to do business. I will talk about how water is used in various continents and also how it is exploited by some for business, when a common good should belong to all and at low cost. Then we will also address the most important topic, pollution, which today destroys entire seas, lakes and rivers. Sources polluted by the neglect of man towards the environment and towards himself, yes, because those who ruin their territory will also ruin their own future and this is incomprehensible by all those who are defending this planet of ours. We will talk about the various types of water and their characteristics and their qualities. In short, a complete roundup that will bring more knowledge for this immense good that is water.
