The Horace Mann Readers: New Primer

A delightful collection of stories and rhymes for the beginning reader with fetching pictures on most every page. Familiar cumulative tales are presented in new dress with the characters Billy Boy, Nellie Gray, and Peter Pup appearing in one tale after another, providing a continuity lacking in many primers. Short rhymes that pop up at natural places in the narrative between the longer tales furnish a pleasant change of pace.
