How to teach Children Through stories/ A Guide to the use of "The Children's Hour"
A must-have for parents and people who did not get a chance as a child.
The book is an easy read and is separated into 24 chapters with names such as Courage, Kindness Etc.
Each chapter has a story or stories that express the title of the chapter. Because some stories could go under several chapters there is a reference section that gives the name and location of the story. Such as:
Jack and the Bean-Stock
The Ugly Duckling
The Tortoise and the Hare
And many others. It is almost assured that you have not heard them all.
Have fun reading.
The book may be a tad expensive, even used, so keep it on your special shelf with the original Freddy the Pig books and Starship on Saddle Mountain.
