Title: The Plant Baby and Its Friends - a Nature Reader for Primary Grades
Description: Boston: Silver Burdett & Company Publishers, 1899. Reprint. Hardcover. This book is "the outcome of some years of happy experience in the schoolroom with a flock of country children. The need was felt of attractive reading-matter to supplement the natural-science work being performed by the classes. It is easier to interest children in simple stories about Nature than in the technical treatment of the regular schoolbook, and the author believes that the science storybook, conscientiously prepared with accuracy and skill, should precede the more formal text-book on the same subject, up to which it will naturally lead. The subjects of the various chapters will indicate to the teacher a simple yet orderly method of procedure, from the plant in germ to full flower." - Preface. 155, [3 ads] pages. Charming black and white illustrations throughout. Reprint of the 1897 first edition. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. Moderate wear to original decorated beige cloth. Unmarked. Binding intact. A quality example of this most lovely and educational vintage elementary natural science reader. ; Sm 8vo. Good with No dust jacket as issued .
