STORIES FOR CHILDREN THREE AND FOUR YEARS OLD.

The arrangement is in the order of degree of difficulty. Where the title would naturally appear in the library catalogue, the author's name only is given. Where a title appears in several lists, the source is given only in one, which is indicated by giving the page number in bold face type preceding title in the index at the end of this pamphlet.

Many of the stories listed may be found in simplified form in the primers and readers on the little children's shelves.

A was an archer who shot at a frog.
