About This Book

A child's picture primer combines a color-printed alphabet—each letter paired with a simple image—with a sequence of short, plainly narrated nursery tales and rhymes. The alphabet section presents letters alongside matching objects or animals, followed by retellings of traditional nursery episodes: an old woman who lives in a shoe and her large family, two abandoned children in the woods, a lost-sheep story, a counting tale about five pigs, and a lighthearted account of Mother Goose and her son. Illustrations appear throughout to support recognition and engage young readers.
