This magazine, for youngest readers, has earned golden
gratitude from teachers and parents this past year.
While its short stories and beautiful pictures have
made it welcome everywhere as a general Magazine for
Little Folks, its series of instructive articles have
rendered it of unrivalled value to educators. For 1886
several specialties have been prepared in accordance
with the suggestions of teachers who wish to start
their "little primaries" in the lines on which older
brothers and sisters are being taught. As a beginning
in American History, there will be twelve charming
chapters about
=THE ADVENTURES OF COLUMBUS.=
This story of the Great Discoverer, while historically
correct and valuable, will be perfectly adapted to
young minds and fitted to take hold upon a child's
attention and memory; many pictures.
=LITTLE TALKS ABOUT INSECT LIFE=
will interest the children in one branch of Natural
History; with anecdotes and pictures.
=OUR COLORADO PETS=
will describe wild creatures little known to children
in general. These twelve stories all are true, and are
full of life and adventure; each will be illustrated.
="ME AND MY DOLLS"=
is a "cunning little serial story," written for
American children by the popular English author, Miss
L. T. Meade. It will have Twelve Full-page Pictures
by Margaret Johnson. From time to time fresh "Stories
about Favorite Authors" will be given, so that teachers
and friends may have material for little literature
lessons suited to young children.
