More Seeds of Knowledge; Or, Another Peep at Charles

A modest but lively portrait unfolds of a curious little boy named Charles, whose days are filled with lessons in reading, arithmetic, and especially geography. Guided by his patient parents, he discovers the far‑flung origins of tea, sugar, rose‑wood and raisins, turning each fact into a story that sparks his imagination. The narrative captures the simple joy of a child eager to explore the world beyond his doorstep, while subtly reminding us of the value of a well‑rounded education.

The book also offers a gentle, humorous look at the challenges of mastering language. When Charles proudly declares “there goes two white horses,” his father uses the moment to teach the difference between singular and plural, showing how a small slip can affect how others perceive us. Warmly illustrated and narrated with a kindly voice, this early‑chapter glimpse invites listeners to share in the delight of learning, perseverance, and the tender guidance of family.
