Field & Forest Guide
Titled "The Field and Forest Handy Book," this volume has been justifiably in print since 1906. Written by Daniel C. "Uncle Dan" Beard, the founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone and one of the founders of the BSA, it's a compendium of eternally relevant woodland lore, from building cabins, sleds, boats, and bridges to camping in swamps. The only part we skipped was on how to cook a muskrat. (We know a place that delivers.) Loaded with illustrations. In soft cover from David Godine's Nonpareil Books; 428 pp.

Money, Honey
"Money, Money, Money" by Troy Spencer for Troll Books is a good introduction to the history and sensible use of lucre, filthy and otherwise, for 7- to 11-year-olds. It's 16pp and sold for $6.95 in bookstores. It comes with a package of $100 worth of shredded U.S. currency to break their little hearts. And no, the $100 isn't all from the same bills, so tell them not to bother piecing the shreds together. (On the other hand, trying it could tie them up for a quiet month or two, so we'd let them go ahead.)

It's Time
Good Glockenspiel, it's time these kids learned to tell time! The Clock Book, with its helpful 15-page story and colorful 6" dia clockface with movable hands, should do the tick. A nice teaching tool (with a cover price of $7.95!).

The American Handy Books
PC purists please move on to other items. This book is an exact reprint of 1882 and 1887 editions: "American Girls Handy Book": How to amuse yourself and others. This book is absolutely crammed with ideas for activities, craft projects, information about nature and the world around us as well as charming Victoriana from the founders of boy and girl scouting. A real gift from Great Great Grandma's attic. Both you and the kids will adore them and use them constantly, and we think members of both genders will enjoy both books in today's world.
