All the stories in this book have been tested with children. Favorites
easily available in other collections have been omitted.
The seventy-five or more very short stories, intended to help young
children to express their observations, experiences, and fancies, have
been included at the request of many teachers.
The writer hopes that by providing the busy teacher with “tellable”
stories, she may help to win for story-telling the dignity of established
scholastic place.
