And Rhymes for Kindly Children by Fairmont Snyder.  Take a trip back in time to the beginning of the 20th century, a time  when every children's story taught a leson and every poem was instructive. These are classic stories - some of which appeared in schoolbooks for decades - where you will meet kind angels, helpful talking animals and good and bad children. Snyder's verses are an introduction to smart Timothy Timkins, courteous Virginia, Alice, who bit her nails, Susan Kindly and orderly twins Ray and May. Illustrated by John  B. Gruelle, the creator of Raggedy Ann. Children and parents alike will benefit from this charming little book.
