Herbert is a fun-loving boy who has the best of intentions but is usually getting into trouble doing something or other. His Uncle Horace is always there to help bail him and his family out of trouble. Herbert usually does things to excess, with his family egging him on, since his mother told him that discouraging children is a bad idea! Truly the epitome/parody of baby boomers but really fun for kids. Short stories include, "Herbert's Can Collection," "Herbert's Remarkable Improvement," "Herbert's Reward," "Herbert's Wild Animals," "Herbert's Desert Island," "Herbert's Club," "Herbert's Chemistry Set," "Herbert's Newspaper," "Herbert's Earnings." This book can safely be considered "old school" and is appropriate for those who well... are pretty much fed up with leftist storytelling. These are fun books. Be aware that standards for English have changed since 1942! The occasional run-on sentence or so may leave you rewording sentences slightly as you read this book to your kids. But it's okay. Your kids will neither turn into mutants or bad orators as a result of reading this book. I read this book to my six year old kids and they loved it. I read it myself when I was maybe in third or fourth grade. This book is very appropriate for conservatives and others who do not want a political/social agenda affecting their kids.

The water bubbled up clear and cold, forming a small but deep pool fringed with tall grass. Brad had not been to the spring since the day before, and he saw that since then the grass on the far side of the pool had turned purple. Looking more closely, he saw that the bright sun had brought hundreds of violets into bloom. Brad dipped his pail in the spring. As he raised it, brimming with water, he noticed a large sheet of birch bark pinned to the trunk of the willow overlooking the spring. Where in the world had that come from? Who had pinned it there? Brad was so startled that he let go of the handle of the pail and let it sink in the spring as he ran to the tree. Brad and his father paddle up the river to land they have just purchased in the wilds of Maine. After building a simple cabin and starting a garden, Brad's father leaves to get the rest of his family. Brad is brave and industrious while his father is gone, but the young teenager starts to worry when he sees signs of Indians passing through the area. Things, however, go terribly wrong for Brad, and it appears his father may never return. Will he need the help of the Indians to survive? Based loosely on a true experience, this exciting book shows how two very different teenage boys, both who think they are superior to the other, learn important life lessons about respect, tolerance, humility, brotherhood, hard work, and appreciation.
