Ajouter au panierNo. 1 in a scarce series of books for children stereotyped by Carter and Hendee in the 1830s. The content of this issue includes an instructional and moralistic dialogue, followed by instructions for exploring basic concepts (shapes, colors, weight, water, earth). Natural history is a focus, and the book encourages children to investigate the world for themselves: Where does water come from? Suppose you put some ice in a warm place, what becomes of it? Single vol. (6" by 3.5"), pp. 36, [2], sewn in original printed green wrps. Approx. 10 copies on OCLC (August 2023). Jacob Abbott (1803-1879) was an American writer of children's books who sometimes wrote under the pseudonym Erodore (Archives at Yale). Good. Toned, dust soiling, spotting. Spine chipped.
