About This Book

A collection of ten very short tales and poems written almost entirely in short, one-syllable words to suit early readers. Each piece presents domestic scenes and small adventures—children at play, household pets, a mischievous ape and a stolen pie, a one-eyed cat nursed back to health, an accident with an ax, see-saw games, and other simple episodes—delivered in terse, repetitive sentences and gentle moral notes. Short prefatory remarks to parents explain the constraints and aims, and the stories favor clear action, concrete images, and accessible vocabulary for readers taking first steps.
