CHILDREN'S BOOKS
Reading edition
MARCHING PLAYS
By GREY BURLESON
This is the one new book which should be in every home where there are children; it is the one book no mother, primary teacher, or kindergartner can afford to do without. No other book affords such varied and lasting pleasures to little children; no other affords such helps and suggestions to mothers and teachers, in entertaining children, and in making entertainment educational.
A FRAGMENT FROM THE "OWL" PLAY
Familiar animals, birds, and insects are the natural motif of these gay and graceful Marching Plays, which develop the ready friendliness of children toward the animal creation. The twelve plays are elaborately illustrated by L. J. Bridgman for the pleasure of children and the guidance of mothers and teachers. They are also set to music by Kate L. Brown and F. E. Saville.
Each play has a page of suggestions showing how it can be varied and adapted in many ways, both for amusement and instruction.
Price, quarto, fine cloth binding, $1.25.
