Thursday Postcard Hunt - Learning: Legends and/or Children's Stories
September begins a new theme, Learning, for Thursday Postcard Hunt. This first Thursday is Legends and/or Children's Stories.
First, the Legends.
Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest. It does say California, however California isn't usually included in the Pacific Northwest, where Bigfoot is said to roam.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin c. 1910
Greetings from Hamelin, showing the Piper's House, now a themed restaurant, the piper leading the children away, and a poem reading,
Wander, oh wander, far into the distance, Wander, oh wander, I do so gladly, Restlessly hurrying through perpetrators and mockery, World, oh so far, how beautiful you are.
I was given no love, no homeland, Always hurrying on, known by no one.
I never knew worries and whims, song and play gave them away late and early. A traveling minstrel, known by no one,
A Pied Piper, that is my profession.
Not in the same vein of Goodnight Moon or The Three Little Pigs, none the less, these are stories written for children!
Goosebumps, by R. L Stine postcard book belonging to my son, and a few of the postcards.
I jave never read, or watched, Goosebumps, but I know it is popular. That isn't quite how I picture Bigfoot!
ReplyDeleteThe Goosebumps postcards can be easily used as Halloween mail. I didn't know this book!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like a lot the Bigfoot postcard :)
