A merry band of small fairies — Tiddly Winks, Tiddly Wee, Tiddly Thrift, Tiddly Cheer-Up, Tiddly Scowl and Tiddly Why — guide beginning readers through simple, graded lessons in letters, numbers, manners and daily routines. Short illustrated episodes set in a schoolroom, a picnic, gardens and play scenes use repetition and playful mischief to teach reading, counting, saving, cooperation and punctuality. Household and schoolroom objects are personified, creating lively classroom interactions and gentle moral examples. The collection is organized as brief, easily decodable stories and rhymes intended for early readers learning the alphabet, basic vocabulary and social habits.
Tiddly Winks said, “We must say, ‘Good-bye’.”
Tiddly Wee said, “See the Airship!”
The Airship sailed down, down.
They all got in the Airship.
They called to the Rag Doll, “Good-bye.”
She gave them a surprise.
The Rag Doll said, “I will sail with you.”
They all sailed back to Tiddly Winks Town.
They sailed over the houses.
They sailed over the tree-tops.
