By Eli Siegel

Enlarged 2nd edition, with a new Introduction by Ellen Reiss & more Drawings by Dorothy Koppelman

“Eli Siegel wrote the Little Essays for Children in 1945, and they have met children’s hopes all these years. They meet a child’s hope that what goes on inside him or her be really understood. They meet a child’s hope that the big, often confusing world around him or her can really have sense made of it—and be a friend….Mr. Siegel’s writing in the Children’s Guide has such respect for the mind of a child; in its clarity, it is never the least bit patronizing. This educator, whose scholarship was tremendous…could write in a way children understood and loved.” —from Introduction by Ellen Reiss
