NEW "GRADUATED" SERIES

_With coloured frontispiece and black-and-white illustrations_

No child of six or seven should have any difficulty in reading and
understanding _unaided_ the pretty stories in the 6d. series. In the
9d. series the language used is slightly more advanced, but is well
within the capacity of children of seven and upwards, while the 1s.
series is designed for little folk of somewhat greater attainments. If
the stories are read _to_ and not _by_ children, it will be found that
the 6d. 9d. and 1s. series are equally suitable for little folk of
all ages.
