The Jumping Frog: And 18 Other Stories
Author: Mark Twain
This collection was out of print for many years, found and reprinted by The Book Tree. The Jumping Frog launched Twain’s career. He heard the story in an old saloon in the Angel’s Camp mining town of California, told by a bald-headed local who relayed it in a deadpan tone, with no hint of excitement or humor. Twain sent it to a friend in New York and it was published in the prestigious Saturday Press, then reprinted by newspapers in Europe and America. Contains 18 other stories with some of them not found easily – or at all – in any other collections.

The Adventures of Peter Cottontail: With Large Print and Original Pictures
Author: Thornton W. Burgess
This is the story of Peter Rabbit and his adventures in the Green Forest. It includes the famous pictures by Harrison Cady, and large type to make it easy for children to read. Early in this story, Peter Rabbit changed his name to Peter Cottontail, but he soon decided to keep his real name after all. Peter helps to teach us how he and the forest animals live.
We are introduced to many of his friends–and his enemies. Reddy Fox and Shadow the Weasel are always hungry for rabbits and try to eat Peter Rabbit, but Peter has learned how to outsmart the sly fox and trick the weasel. Peter’s friends include Jimmy Skunk, Happy Jack Squirrel, Prickly Porky the Porcupine, Billy Possum, Jerry Muskrat, and Johnny Chuck the Woodchuck. We are shown how the animals in the forest live, and how they help each other find food, stay safe, and get away from the animals that try to eat them. Many of the animals work together in different ways, just like we find in nature. This story lets children learn directly from the forest creatures, who are allowed to talk and tell us their stories. This is a wonderful, classic book that all children should experience.

The Free Enterprise Patriot
Author: John Rickey
What would happen if the same bureaucratic red tape and complexity existed in the U. S. government at the time of the Revolutionary War? This is the hilarious story of a patriotic blacksmith who, in 1776, just wants to help the cause and make cannons for the war—but encounters one frustration after another, based on today’s new rules and regulations. This satiric tale shows how the U. S. colonies would have likely never won their freedom if things were as they are today. This is one story that should be required reading for all government employees.

The Devil’s Dictionary
Author: Ambrose Bierce
Not an evil book, contains much humor and a cynical view of life. Bierce was a master at satirical definitions and rewarded for this book by being called The Wickedest Man in San Francisco. There’s a ring of truth to many of these outrageous passages, which makes it so fun to read. Nothing is sacred in this roller-coaster ride of outrageous barbs and cynical jabs at politics, religion, business, the arts, and literature. Contains over 1000 separate entries, listed in alphabetical order. Highly recommended for those who take life too seriously.
