READER—There are only 365 pieces mentioned in this index, but the Book contains 2,000 pieces and pictures, large and small. It is a complete cyclopoedia of child-lore, and first-class kindergarten book—to amuse and teach at the same time. No child's book ever published has been, nor is now, so great a favourite as this one.

A Piece of Poetry for Mother and Father to Read

I suppose if all the children, Who have lived through ages long, Were collected and inspected They would make a wondrous throng. Oh the babble of the Babel! Oh, the flutter and the fuss; To begin with Cain and Abel, And to finish up with us! Some have never laughed nor spoken, Never used their rosy feet; Some have even flown to heaven, Ere they knew that earth was sweet. And indeed, I wonder whether, If we reckon every birth, And bring such a flock together, There is room for them on earth. Think of all the men and women Who are now and who have been; Every nation since creation That this world of ours has seen. And of all of them not any But was once a baby small; While of children, oh, how many Never have grown up at all.
