A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Lear, Edward.

*Nonsense Books.
Little. 2.00

The nonsense classic, which should be among the first books secured for a child's library. This edition contains all the Nonsense Books, with all the original illustrations.

"'How pleasant to know Mr. Lear,'
Who has written such volumes of stuff!
Some think him ill-tempered and queer,
But a few think him pleasant enough."

Norton, C. E. (Editor).

Heart of Oak Books. Volume I.
Rhymes, Jingles, and Fables. Heath. .25

"Mother Goose is the best primer. No matter if the rhymes be nonsense verses; many a poet might learn the lesson of good versification from them, and the child in repeating them is acquiring the accent of emphasis and of rhythmical form."--Preface.
