In Story-land

by Elizabeth Harrison (Principal of the Chicago Kindergarten College.)

I LOVINGLY DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO MY FRIEND,
Kate Tiffany Richardson, who, from childhood, through girlhood, far into womanhood, illumined my life with a radiant love and sympathy that made every ideal seem possible, and with whose four little children I have many a time journeyed into STORY-LAND.

***

It is not expected that the stories in this book will be told in their present form to Kindergarten children, as experience has shown that each Kindergartner must modify her story to suit the needs and capacities of her children, and must learn to take from any story just so much as may be helpful to her in creating a fresh story for the occasion. It is hoped, however, that they may serve the mother in her home reading with her group of children, and also that my colaborers in primary and second grade schools may sometimes use them for Friday afternoon readings.
