Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Little Red Hen, Vol. 2
As to the classic basis, certainly a vocabulary may be evolved as well from The Three Bears, for example, as from cats and dogs. For can not a child as well in the beginning say, I see a bear as I see a. Cat? And can he not build up day by day from the bear as well as from the cat?
Then, too, these tales are pedagogical to the primer grade. Every first grade or kindergarten teacher knows the delight with which little children listen as she reads them; hence that first of all elements - interest is fully satisfied in these tales.
Again we find in these classic tales a second pedagogical principle that of action; for in these olden tales most rapid and vigorous activity predominate.
A third principle, too, is in evidence that of repetition; and a child loves the rhythm of repetition.
And still a fourth pedagogical quality is found in these classic tales, i. E., the dramatic personification dialogue or in another term.
