Nursery lessons: in words of one syllable

About this book

For young children beginning to read, the primer uses one-syllable words to teach simple morals and everyday facts. When Mary and John see a poor man, their wish to help is set beside John’s regret that he spent his money on a toy. A short account of a mill follows corn as it becomes flour and bread. Ann’s dog rescues her from a pond, while a warning against taking a bird’s nest gives the lessons their firm, direct tone.
