Primer

Excerpt from PrimerThis Book of Beginnings, prepared for the very little ones, has for its first consideration the child and the things which he enjoys. His interests are varied and superficial, therefore many subjects are presented. He is held to one subject until he has assimilated but not exhausted it. His joy in his own creative imagination is not overlooked nor limited.The child's power of concentration is slight. Stories and rhymes make a strong appeal to him, and by holding his atten tention increase his ability for continued attention. So the story element predominates, although nature, animals, play mates and the home all have their delightful place in these pages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
