A Story Garden For Little Children Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Garden of Childhood: Stories for Little Folk at School and at Home This book has been written to illustrate the lessons outlined for Infants in the Graduated Syllabus of Moral Instruction for Elementary Schools, issued by the Moral Instruction League; but, though specially arranged for that section, many of the stories would also be suitable for children in Standards I. And II. It is my sincere hope that, whilst listening to a story, the children Will feel touched by the lesson it seeks to embody, without realizing that a lesson is being imparted. In telling or reading the stories I would ask that the moral be not forced upon the little ones, or even emphasized, by the teacher; though it would be well for her to ask a few questions afterwards, as to which child or deed the little listeners have a fondness for, and the reason why. The aim of the book is to provide instruction and amuse ment at the same time, so that the children hardly know which is which, and enjoy both. Several of the stories have appeared in the Daily News. For the ideas in The Difficult Sum and The Land of Books and Toys I am indebted to Miss Jane Carey to Whom I am glad to proffer my thanks for testing the stories upon a class of infants in a public elementary school. I owe much also to my little critic, Dulcie. A. M. C. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
