What a lovely book! Coupled with Longfellow’s poem, it makes for great a great early reader. The wonderful drawings from nature can inspire nature studies as well. Thank you.
What a neat book!! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful old primers/books/etc. that you make available for us – we love them!!
Awesome! Thank you! I was looking for a primer that was more for boys! It is a big hop from phonics to reading. It is hard to find things that are interesting and easy enough.

Out of curiosity, how do you guys go about printing such as this — or do you print it? Wondering if you do 2 a page printing or some such.
