Over 200 stories, poems and fables  \u003cbr\u003e2. Over 25 illustrations for the children to enjoy  \u003cbr\u003e3. Includes Aesop Fables!  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eSince this series of books is intended for all young people from one to one hundred, it opens with about eighty of the old Mother Goose Rhymes. Nothing better was ever invented to tell to little folks who are young enough for lullabies. Their rhythm, their humor, and their pith will always cause us to prize them as the Babies' Classics.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eNext come a score of the most famous Nursery Tales, the kind that children cry for and love to hear fifty times over. And since, just as soon as little folks like stories they love to hear them in rhyme, here are forty Children's Favorite Poems.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eWhat would young life be without \"Puss in Boots\" and \"Little Red Riding Hood\" and \"The Sleeping Beauty\"? Our Treasury would indeed be poor without them, so these Favorite Stories come next, yoked with some Old-Fashioned Poems in story-form, as \"The Night before Christmas,\" \"The Wonderful World,\" and \"Little Orphant Annie.\" All who love pets and animals have always liked Fables, so here are the noted parables of Æsop, and the lesser-known but even more jolly tales from East Indian sources.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe fairy-tale age is supposed to come from four to nine, but the editors are sure it lasts much longer than that. However this may be, the better half of our first volume is given up to Fairy Tales and Laughter Stories from all over the world.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIt ends with Tales for Tiny Tots, the kind that mother reads beside the fire at bedtime, some of them old, like the \"Little Red Hen\" and \"Peter Rabbit,\" and some of them newer, like \"The Greedy Brownie\" and \"The Birthday Honors of the Fairy Queen.\"  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBelow is a PARTIAL list of stories in the book  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Three Bears  \u003cbr\u003eCinderella   \u003cbr\u003eThe Three Brothers   \u003cbr\u003eThe Wren and the Bear   \u003cbr\u003eChicken-Licken   \u003cbr\u003eThe Fox and the Cat   \u003cbr\u003eThe Rats and their Son-in-Law   \u003cbr\u003eThe Mouse and the Sausage   \u003cbr\u003eJohnny and the Golden Goose   \u003cbr\u003eTitty Mouse and Tatty Mouse   \u003cbr\u003eTeeny Tiny   \u003cbr\u003eThe Spider and the Flea   \u003cbr\u003eThe Little Shepherd Boy   \u003cbr\u003eThe Three Spinners   \u003cbr\u003eThe Cat and the Mouse in Partnership   \u003cbr\u003eThe Sweet Soup   \u003cbr\u003eThe Straw, the Coal, and the Bean   \u003cbr\u003eWhy the Bear Has a Stumpy Tail   \u003cbr\u003eThe Three Little Pigs  \u003cbr\u003eHansel and Gretel   \u003cbr\u003eThe Fair Catherine and Pif-Paf Poltrie   \u003cbr\u003eThe Wolf and the Fox  \u003cbr\u003eDescreet Hans   \u003cbr\u003ePuss in Boots   \u003cbr\u003eThe Elves and the Shoemaker   \u003cbr\u003eHans in Luck   \u003cbr\u003eMaster of All Masters   \u003cbr\u003eBelling the Cat   \u003cbr\u003eLittle Red Riding-Hood   \u003cbr\u003eThe Nail   \u003cbr\u003eJack and the Beanstalk   \u003cbr\u003eHow to Tell a True Princess   \u003cbr\u003eThe Sleeping Beauty","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164008726768,"sku":"2940016613789","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016613789_p0.jpg?v=1763638797","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016613789","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
