COPYRIGHT, 1906, BY LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY ~PREFACE~ This is a book of short stories for the youngest readers,--stories about old friends, which they can easily read themselves. Here they will learn why Mary's Lamb went to school, what the mouse was looking for when he ran up the clock, why one little pig went to market, how one little pig got lost, and the answers to a great many other puzzling questions. The stories are written around some of the Mother Goose rhymes because the children love to meet old friends in books just as well as we do. The vocabulary is limited to words easily recognized by beginners in reading, and the sentences are made short and direct, so that they will be understood. The stories progress gradually from very easy to more difficult matter, keeping pace with the child's increasing knowledge and ability,--the book being carefully arranged for use as a supplementary reader, or for home reading for the little ones. ~CONTENTS~ LITTLE BOY BLUE SNOWBALL FIRE-CRACKER BOY BLUE'S DREAM MARY'S LAMB THE LAMB AT SCHOOL LITTLE BO-PEEP HICKORY, DICKORY, DOCK MISTRESS MARY TOMMY TUCKER FIVE LITTLE PIGS JACK AND JILL JACK HORNER'S PIE THE OLD WOMAN IN THE SHOE MISS MUFFET HUMPTY DUMPTY THE MOTHER GOOSE BOOK Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn,
