Abstract
This book represents a selection for children between 2 and 5 years of age from "My Book House," a popular series of graded children's readers. The principles on which selection was made -- both by Miller and by present-day editors -- are laid out well in the Preface. Some eight fables appear here attributed to Aesop, besides TT (178) and "The Foolish, Timid, Little Hare" (96), both listed as East Indian Fables. My favorite among the delightful classic illustrations are the two colored illustrations for "The Dancing Monkeys" (92-93). The book's illustrations are classic throughout, most colored and some black-and-white. There is a problem with the book's opening AI. "Belling the Cat" is on 35, not 25. "The Boaster" is on 175, not 35. "The Donkey and the Lapdog" is on 50, not 52.
