Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Little Folks Land: The Story of a Little Boy in a Big World The story of Joe-Boy spun itself through the inspiration of a merry band of kindergarten children who held the leading string while the teacher followed and guided. It was early in January that the author began the story to them, thinking that in about four weeks´ work we would cover, through the principles of co-operation and interdependence, the building and furnishing of a house, thereby impressing on the child mind something of the true worth and dignity of labor as brought into actual contact with his everyday life. When the wee house had been built, however, and completely furnished by eager and busy fingers, the children had become so interested in the Gipsy baby that they were unwilling to give him up. Each morning the teacher was met with such questions as: "Will you tell us more about Joe-Boy to-day?" "Did he ever grow large enough to go to kindergarten?" "How many people helped to get his clothes?" "His food?" "Did Joe-Boy have any pets?" And so each day there was some new question arising, showing that the children felt an incompleteness to leave the story just where we had planned - and justly so, since no life is complete that does not reflect its threefold relationship to Nature, God, and man. They were instinctively reaching out for clearness in the complexities of life´s relationships, in regard to themselves, through the Gipsy baby. His life was but the mirror reflecting their own life, and they were longing to solve it. Thus days passed into weeks and weeks into months as we followed the Gipsy baby through the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdom, and traced the laws of co-operation and interdependence, which weave all of life´s relationships into one grand sweet song. We little dreamed as we passed from subject to subject that the story would ever present itself in book form, but other kindergartners asked for the basis of the program, primary teachers asked for the use of the Nature stories, and even mothers wished to borrow them for bedtime use, so, through these interested suggestions, the book finally took shape. Of course no kindergartner can follow with equal results another´s plan of work, but the subject matter of this program is of such universal and vital interest that it can not fail to offer helpful suggestions. And that is all that any program can justly do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
