Original Other Children & Young Adults Book. NEW - Lion, Tiger, and Bear (Penguin Young Readers, Level 4).

One of the all-time classics of children's literature, a feel-good book full of enthusiasm and exuberance, and a perfect family re...ad""There is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it.""When Pollyanna Whittier's father dies she is sent to live with her Aunt Polly in Vermont. A clash of personalities ensues as Pollyanna's sunny disposition sits ill with her aunt's need for quiet, her passion for shutting windows, and her obsession with quietly shut doors. The key to Pollyanna's happiness is The Glad Game--originally invented to deal with disappointing missionary boxes--and is applied to all parts of life. No matter how dark the situation, it is always possible to find something to be glad about. Any attempts to discipline the child fail helplessly in the face of The Glad Game. A bread and milk supper in the kitchen is greeted with rapture; a puritan attic bedroom with sparse furnishing is valued for its rapturous views. As Pollyanna becomes acquainted with other inhabitants of the town, the cantankerous residents fall victim to her charms. However, the arrival of a motor car in town heralds a tragic change which not even Pollyanna looks likely to be able to overcome. This timeless classic has spawned many spin-off novels and films. read more

He let her sleep in his tent and share his food, and, eventually, his focus shifted from winning to the newfound friendship he and Gobi shared.
