A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Eggleston, Edward.

Stories of Great Americans for Little Americans.
American Book. .40

A collection of many noted tales with which all of our children should be familiar. It includes Franklin's Whistle, Putnam and the Wolf, and Daniel Boone and his Grapevine Swing.

Mythology, Folk-lore, Legends, And Fairy Tales

Even John Locke (1632-1704), in his Thoughts on Education (1693), recommends, besides the Psalter and the New Testament, Æsop and Reynard the Fox, as good food for infant minds. This was an excellent basis to start upon.

Adventures Of Reynard The Fox.

Edited by W. T. Stead.
Review. .05

There is no entirely satisfactory edition, for children, of this classic. The language of one edited by Jacobs seems to the compiler of this list somewhat unsuited to small people, and E. L. Smythe in her version substitutes an entirely different ending for that of the original. This very inexpensive little book has more than a hundred interesting small pictures, and children will love to read of bad Reynard, who is told about in diverting fashion.
