My Book House begins with nursery rhymes, which appeal to the very young baby through their rhythm and music long before he can understand words. It is with nursery rhymes that you can first get the baby's attention and train him to listen and concentrate. Through them also and through the stories that follow them, the child is helped to learn words and increase his vocabulary, so by the time he goes to school he has the confidence that comes with the ability to express himself and his ideas. From the nursery rhymes, My Book House progresses through a natural, carefully graded continuity, leading the child gradually from the simplest stories to those that are more complex. This is Volume 10 which is primarily stories of romantic as well as heroic adventures in the great epics of the world.
