The Day Parliament Burned Down

The Day Parliament Burned DownIn this, the first full-length book on the subject, head Parliamentary Archivist Caroline Shenton unfolds the gripping story of the fire over the course of that fateful day and night. In the process, she paints a skilful portrait of the political and social context of the time, including details of the slums of Westminster and the frenzied expansion of the West End; the plight of the London Irish; child labour, sinecures and corruption in high places; fire-fighting techniques and floating engines; the Great Reform Act and the new Poor Law; Captain Swing and arson at York Minster; the parlous state of public buildings and records in the Georgian period

Oh The Places You'll Go

"Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain,' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act,' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.

The Way Things Work - Floating

In Floating, inhabitants of Mammoth Island attempt to rescue an islander and his mammoths from the middle of a lake. They are stranded on a small island after a wooden bridge collapses. Olive, a bright young islander, notices that the wood from the broken bridge is floating on the surface of the lake. With the help of a visiting inventor, she discovers the principle of buoyancy. Every object exerts a downward force on the water, and the water pushes back with an upward force on the object. When the buoyant force is greater than an object’s weight, the object floats!

 Grades:  3 to 6
