A journey through a land where Milo learns the importance of words and numbers provides a cure for his boredom.

Milo, un niño muy aburrido, recibe un extraño regalo: una caseta mágica. Inicia el trayecto hacia el Reino de la Sabiduría a bordo de su viejo coche eléctrico. Su viaje se convertirá en una emocionante travesía de descubrimiento.

The period between the Civil War and the turn of the century was a time of great social upheaval in the United States. Lured by the promises of industrialization, much of the rural population moved to the cities, but those who remained in the countryside were isolated from the rapid changes in American society. Women found themselves torn between the battle for women''s rights being hotly debated in the cities and the traditional role of homemaker, mother, and helper that was the norm in rural areas. In A Woman''s Place, Norton Juster brings this turbulent period of American history to life using a broad sampling of articles, letters, poems, and essays taken from the popular literature of the time. While these publications recognized the hardship that characterized the lives of their readers, they upheld the idealized vision of the farmer''s wife. It is this historical conflict between the independent woman and the traditional female role that makes A Woman''s Place important reading today.

A collection of puns based on animals, including "Fowl ball," "Crocoduel," and "Pupsicle."

With almost 5 million copies sold 60 years after its original publication, generations of readers have now journeyed with Milo to the Lands Beyond in this beloved classic. Enriched by Jules Feiffer’s splendid illustrations, the wit, wisdom, and wordplay of Norton Juster’s offbeat fantasy are as beguiling as ever. “Comes up bright and new every time I read it . . . it will continue to charm and delight for a very long time yet. And teach us some wisdom, too.” --Phillip Pullman For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams!

This book brings to life the years between the end of the Civil War and the turn of the century by using a sampling of articles, letters, poems and essays written by and for rural women. It describes the daily life of country women and girls. While these writings reflected the labor and hardship that characterized the lives of most of the publications'' readers; yet the editorial stance of these publications continued to idealize the vision of a farmer''s wife.
