When Mother Lets Us Cut Out Pictures/Google Books


Very cute blacklines for children to cut, color and paste. Each picture has a didactic read-aloud. Some are quite simple, others are quite detailed like the intricate Scherenschnitte.

Little People: An Alphabet(Children of the World in Alphabet)/Google Books


U for United States.
The States are full of mush and pie
And houses twenty stories high,
Saw-mills and millionaires and bustle;
The people there "have got to hustle."
The business of the States is done
Ex-clu-sive-ly by telephone;
And that is why the people say,"I guess we're 'cute in U. S. A."

Woodside or, Look, Listen, and Learn/Project Gutenberg


"Now for the dear, dear country,
Its trees and meadows fair,
Its roses, cowslips, violets,
Whose sweetness fills the air.
"'Tis there we hear the music
Of lark's and blackbird's song,
And merry little finches,
Singing the whole day long."—C. H.

Very sweet story book about children who visit their grandfather at the farm. Along the way they learn about nature. A very wholesome science type reader for the warmer months with references to scripture as well.

Wonderful short stories with a high moral tone, a few stories based on Bible heroes. These would be wonderful to read to younger children, and fairly easy to read for a fourth or fifth grade reader. Click here.
