Mother Stories

I Have Endeavored To Write, For Mothers And Dear Little Children, A Few Simple Stories, Embodying Some Of The Truths Of Froebels Mother Play. The Mother Play Is Such A Vast Treasure House Of Truth, That Each One Who Seeks Among Its Stores May Bring To Light Some Gem; And Though, Perhaps, I Have Missed Its Diamonds And Rubies, I Trust My String Of Pearls May Find Acceptance With Some Mother Who Is Trying To Live With Her Children. I Have Written My Own Mottoes, With A Few Exceptions, That I Might Emphasize The Particular Lesson Which I Endeavor To Teach In The Story; For Every Motto In The Mother Play Comprehends So Much That It Is Impossible To Use The Whole For A Single Subject.
