PREFACE
All the stories in this book have been tested with children. Favorites easily available in other collections have been omitted.
The seventy-five or more very short stories, intended to help young children to express their observations, experiences, and fancies, have been included at the request of many teachers.
The writer hopes that by providing the busy teacher with "tellable" stories, she may help to win for story-telling the dignity of established scholastic place.
