I have endeavored to write, for mothers and dear little children, a
few simple stories, embodying some of the truths of Froebel's
Mother Play.The Mother Play is such a vast treasure house of Truth,
that each one who seeks among its stores may bring to light some
gem; and though, perhaps, I have missed its diamonds and rubies, I
trust my string of pearls may find acceptance with some mother who
is trying to live with her children.I have written my own mottoes,
with a few exceptions, that I might emphasize the particular lesson
which I endeavor to teach in the story; for every motto in the
Mother Play comprehends so much that it is impossible to use the
whole for a single subject. From "The Bridge" for instance, which
is replete with lessons, I have taken only one, -for the story of
the "Little Traveler."Most of these stories have been told and
retold to little children, and are surrounded, in my eyes, by a
halo of listening faces."Mrs. Tabby Gray" is founded on a true
story of a favorite cat. "The Journey" is a new version of the old
Stage Coach game, much loved by our grandmothers; and I am indebted
to some old story, read in childhood, for the suggestion of "Dust
Under the Rug," which was a successful experiment in a kindergarten
to test the possibility of interesting little children in a story
after the order of Grimm, with the wicked stepmother and her
violent daughter eradicated.Elizabeth Peabody says we are all free
to look out of each other's windows; and so I place mine at the
service of all who care to see what its tiny panes command.MAUD
LINDSAY.
"Children delight in folk-tale and fairy lore, but the very little
child loves best the story which mirrors the familiar. And it is
for him, and for the mother who is striving in this age of
profusion to guard the innate simplicity of her child's nature,
that I have written my little stories." Maud Lindsay "A Story
Garden for Little Children" is a collection of twenty short stories
written by Maud Lindsay especially for very young children. Each
beautifully illustrated story will hold your child's rapt attention
and spark their vivid imagination. They will want to hear them time
and time again.
"Missy, Missy, poor little thing, Tied to Mammy's apron string." I
had not a word to answer. It was only too true. Never in all my
life had I been beyond our own big gate without an attendant... The
"Mammy" filled an essential role in the family life on a
plantation. In some families she stood next to "Mother" in the
affections of the children; and her authority was often second to
none. A great offense in her eyes was a lapse in courtesy, and a
Southern writer has aptly said that wherever you saw an old-time
Mammy you could be sure some Southern child was being taught good
manners. All that Little Missy tells of child-life in the Old South
is true. Never were there happier or more care-free children than
those who grew up on the great plantations, in the midst of the
kindly black folk who were their guardians and their friends.
Perhaps beloved author Maud Lindsay wrote Little Missy from the
colorful childhood stories of growing up on the Winston Plantation
in Tuscumbia, Alabama that her mother passed along to her.
Reminiscences of growing up in a simpler time; when life in the Old
South was full of beauty and grace.
Twenty more delightful stories for kindergarten children about the
commonplace things they care about most, with enough rhyme and
repetition to keep them begging for more. Most of the stories in
this book revolve around animals of the barnyard, with a sprinkling
of stories of everyday doings. Two Christmas stories conclude the
volume. Numerous black and white illustrations complement the text.
Sequel to "Mother Stories" by same author. Suitable for ages 4 to
7.
Seventeen stories ideally suited for kindergarten children who take
great interest in lively stories about familiar things, especially
those that include rhyme and repetition as these stories do. Within
each story is a subtle moral, pleasing to children and not at all
obtrusive. Attractive black and white illustrations enliven the
text. Suitable for ages 4 and up.

Maud Lindsay's Silverfoot takes place in the South during the
American Civil War. Unlike most war stories, this story is told
from the viewpoint of three young girls. The girls are staying with
their grandmother and aunts, while their fathers, uncles, and older
male cousins are away fight the war. While their older cousin is
away fighting the war, he leaves his prize horse, Silverfoot, in
their care, with the charge to keep Silverfoot away from the
Yankees. The girls have many exciting adventures, and endure many
hardships. The story accurately depicts what life was like for many
in the South during the war, but in a manner suited for children.

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - One morning Jan waked up very early,
and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his great
kite in the corner. His big brother had made it for him; and it had
a smiling face, and a long tail that reached from the bed to the
fireplace. It did not smile at Jan that morning though, but looked
very sorrowful and seemed to say "Why was I made? Not to stand in a
corner, I hope " for it had been finished for two whole days and
not a breeze had blown to carry it up like a bird in the air.
