Kindergartners will find here, as in Through the Farmyard Gate, suitable material for kindergarten use; for example, the cumulative rhyme, The Pigeons, and the tracing-back rhyme, Who Gives us Our Thanksgiving Dinner?

For courteous permission to use such of these rhymes as have already appeared in print, acknowledgments are made to publishers and periodicals as follows: The Century Company, New York (St. Nicholas); S. E. Cassino, Salem, Massachusetts (Little Folks); and Milton Bradley Co., Springfield, Massachusetts (Kindergarten Review).
