The "Little folks" painting book: a series of outline engravings for water-colour painting

About this book

Made for children to paint, this collection pairs printed outlines with short stories and verses. When Gertie fails to share her food, a cat and a carrot both make her consider that others have feelings too. Elsewhere, Toby’s dream adventure links honest work with happiness, while a poem imagines children from an earlier age suddenly appearing in the present. The moral lessons come through playful talking creatures and fanciful scenes rather than formal instruction.
