Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Easy Stories
MY intention in writing these little stories was to furnish material which little children, learning to read, could master without assistance.
All who are familiar with children know how pleased they are when they can read a whole story for themselves.
The language used in such stories must be very simple, and the thought must be within the com prehension of the child.
When a child understands perfectly what he reads, the expression takes care of itself.
It seems to me that the tendency nowadays is to give the child classical literature too soon. I believe in good literature; I believe it should be used in our schools; but I believe also that a little child is a little child and should be allowed the literary food adapted to his condition.
The book is intended to be used in the last half of the second school year, or the first half of the third year.
