THESE DELIGHTFUL STORIES from Eleanor Howard's collection: Laura Morrow and the Green Grapes, Miss Daylily, and Noche are sure to entertain grade school children the same way they captivated Mrs. Howard's own students during her career as a teacher in Georgia. All three stories are full of youthful wonder, enthusiasm, and adventure. Eleanor Howard is happy to share them with today's teachers, parents, and children. All three stories are lushly illustrated by the artist Bob Brabham.
In Laura Morrow and the Green Grapes a young girl who loves the outdoors -- and green grapes -- finds herself in all kinds of trouble when she breaks a promise to her mother. Miss Daylily is the story of an exceptional teacher who assumes a new identity to mystify and entertain her students, while Noche tells of a young boy who finds the love of his life in a new puppy, loses his love, and then finds it again.
Eleanor Howard is a natural story teller, which made her perfect as a teacher whose students loved nothing betterĀ¬than a good story -- especially when it was about children in whom they could see themselves.
