There still remained one class of learners whose wants were not supplied by either the Story of the Bible or the Story of the Gospel. These were the little ones in the Nursery, the Infant School, and the Kinder-Garten. For their instruction the author has prepared a third book, First Steps for Little Feet in Gospel Paths. This book is arranged on a different plan from either of the preceding. Instead of being divided into Chapters, it consists of separate passages or Lessons, most of them quite short, and each one complete in itself. Each Lesson is followed by Questions so simple that the little hearers, if attentive when the passage is read, may readily answer them.
From Robert W. Fenwick, President of the Washington Fröebel Society, Washington, D. C.
To the Publisher: I am the grateful recipient of a nicely-bound, well-printed and illustrated work entitled "First Steps." Upon an examination of it, I feel that every Kinder-Garten teacher should possess this gem of a book for little children. Its simple presentation of great truths and facts, in words as well as in pictures, should be brought home to the heart of every child by the parent or teacher; and, this done, the coming generation will be wiser and better than the past. I am thankful (as President of the Washington Fröebel Society, having under its care the Bethany Free Kinder-Garten) that this book has reached me.

The author of the stories contained in this beautiful book has given life and power of speech to many of the inanimate objects which we meet in every-day life.
The Well in the Yard, the Gate and Gate-Post, the Brook and Water-Wheel, with other familiar things, give their impressions, in these charming and original tales, of what takes place around them, and speak to one another with audible voice.
