Hope

Children who have
hearing problems are
doubly handicapped.
They have difficulty
understanding and
speaking their language.

The earlier they re-
ceive corrected treatment
and special education,
the better they will learn.
Optimal care for these
children requires the
combined efforts of the
child, the parent and the
professionals.

“Badger was dependable, reliable, and always

ready to lend a helping paw. He was also very old,

and he knew almost everything. Badger was so old
that he knew he must soon die.”’ ;

by Andrea Deakin
Terrace Book Reviewer

So it happens and Badger’s mourning friends are
comforted by the memories of the times Badger has
shared with them and the things he has taught them,
simple things like a favorite recipe, a paper chain of
figures, or learning how to skate. These were
Badger’s parting gifts, gifts of affection and
thoughtfulness.

This is Susan Varley’s first picture. book, one
which combines a delicate tender story and delightful
illustrations. It won her The Mother Goose Award.

Give A Dog A Bone

Poor Stray’s search for a bone that will be hers
takes her through a series of catastrophes — having
bones crushed by a steamroller or swept up by a

street cleaner. The adventures of the dusty little dog.

weave in and out of the streets of an old town, its

medieval building contrasting with the modern — |
_ machinery; its streets filled with the bustle of shopp-

ing, road construction or a circus parade.

Give a Dog a bone (Oxford: $11.95) is one of Brian
Wildsmith’s best books, rich in color and variety of
scene. The simple story is carried forward by: the ap-
pealing little stray dog and his successful use of a
half-page inserted between the scenes which can be
turned to forward the action. A warm happy ending
is arranged when Stray finds the final bone tied to the
horse-drawn cart of a newly married young couple.

Joan Blos’ first novel, A Gathering of Days, won
the Newbery Medal and the American Book Award
in 1980. The novel was successful in its understand-
ing of the adolescent and in its fine appreciation and
recreation of period, the early 1800°s. Her latest
novel, Brothers of the Heart, is remarkable for the
same strengths and for spare, disciplined prose which
yet conveys sensitivity and understanding.

“The bards, they say, and the poets love the
lame... but they never tell us this: that at the moment
of birth the eyes that ought give welcome to a child
turn, instead, away.”’

Shem is 14 and crippled. He arrives with his family
in a new raw town in Michigan where he finds the
rigors of the pioneer’s life doubly difficult, he feels
his handicap more acutely, and he is, at best, second
best. When an awkward and misunderstood attempt
to help his family leads to a quarrel with his father,
Shem runs off and finds a job with a trading firm.

He is sent off with a group of traders into the
Michigan wilderness where, left alone to mind the
camp, he meets Mary Goodhie. Mary is an elderly
Ottawa Indian who is too frail to travel with her peo-
ple, but too strong to die. She becomes Shem’s friend
and teacher, recognizing in him abilities and courage.
She builds his self-confidence and _ self-esteem,
declaring that in his bravery she sees the bravery of

This is a strong and beautifully tempered novel,
The writer has entered into the personality and
behavor of the times, this is no 20th century family in
fancy dress, but living and breathing inhabitants of
the 1830’s, complete with their hopes, their fears,

their sensibilities and their struggles. This is fine

writing.
