May 14, Claire Waldron-Gross rated it liked it Shelves: I used this with a kindergarten class that was learning about shadows and reflections and it worked pretty well.

The kids were fascinated by the way the illustrations related to the concept. The plot had a nice buildup and problem-solving properties.

For this purpose, he chose Balin and Fili and Kili, and with them went Bilbo. The marched under the grey and silent cliffs to the feet of Ravenhill. Out of it the waters of the Running River sprang; and out of it too there came a stream and a dark smoke.

    Then there is a deeper fact, which is loneliness, the feeling of being isolated. Feeling lonely, we attach ourselves to people, drink, and all sorts of other escapes. Attachment is an escape from loneliness. Can this loneliness be understood and can one find out for oneself what is beyond it? That is the real question, not what to do about attachment to people or environment.

    Can this deep sense of loneliness, emptiness, be transcended? Any movement at all away from loneliness strengthens the loneliness, and so there is more need than ever before to get away from it.
