Description Conducive To Books The Lion's Paw
September 2019: I just edited this review a little bit because in my twenties, when I wrote this, I felt invisible on the internet: by which I mean, I wrote this carelessly and goofily and with more cussing than feels apt to me today, in my forties. At the time, I worked at Strand in Manhattan, at the main-floor information desk (which no longer exists, as such), where the bulk of my job was researching the books the buyers brought in, many of them my own old memories, floating back and right into my hands, dusty and creaking. October 2008: Oh my gosh. Miss Faircloth read this to us in 4th grade (my favorite grade) and I have essentially been looking for it ever since. So that's twenty years of looking. I could only find it as an expensive paperback or collectible hardcover edition, neither of which were within my price-range. Anyway: a couple days ago a guy came in selling books and THERE IT WAS in beautiful lookalike reprint form--the Best Book in My Nine-Year Old World. And I read it and OH MAN. SO SWEET.Specify Books During The Lion's Paw

There are books that stay with you all of your life; THE LION'S PAW by Robb White is one such book (for me). I read this when I was in the sixth grade, while attending Lake Butler Middle School. I found that a local publisher (in Utah) had re released it in 2008 and I immediately ordered a copy for my library. Originally published in 1946, THE LION'S PAW brings orphans Penny and Nick, together, with Ben, whose NAVY father is missing. Penny and Nick escape the orphanage and find themselves uponMy mother-in-law read this aloud to me while I was on bed rest. They say babies in the womb can start to hear around 20 weeks, so we wanted to acclimate Holly to our voices and instill in her a love of reading. The Lion's Paw is an adventure story about two runaway orphans and a 15-year-old boy whose father is MIA from the navy and presumed dead. They sail through the lakes and rivers of Florida making their way to the Gulf in search of their freedom and a very special shell, a lions paw.I read
I read this book several times as a child and I recently read it again. It is a GREAT book. It is now out of print, so each paperback sells for $50-$100, but I was fortunate enough to find one in a used book store on Cape Cod a couple of years ago for 50 cents. If you can get hold of a copy, it is definitely worth the read.***UPDATE*** Because of the demand, Robb White's family that owns the copyright to this book has just re-printed this book again and I found a copy in our local Costco in
This is a classic late 1940's children's adventure story that is set in post-WWII Florida. It perfectly captures the place and the time. The story is a good one, mostly takes place on a sailboat involving runaway orphans.
The beginning was a bit slow. My class really got into it towards the end.
It's finally available, again. My first grade teacher read this to my class. It completely captured my imagination, and I've never forgotten it.As an adult I've searched for it in vain, because it was out of print -- that is until recently.Over Christmas i was able to read it to some of my kids and they loved it as much as I did.It's a simple story, but a classic, in my view. A young brother and sister run away from an orphanage and head to the nearby coast in hopes of a long escape. The come
Ms. Dolan, my 4th grade teacher in 1960 read this book aloud to our class. After all these years, I found it again. It is back in print and a great children's book especially for 2nd - 4th graders. It is set in Florida and was a classic walk through memory lane of how Florida and youth used to be!
