The texts are packed with suggestions, presented -- for beginning readers -- in simple, imaginative, humorous style and accompanying pictures. A new kind of factual primer material, especially adapted to use in rural schools, but city children will like them too, even though they may not be able to keep a school pig nor plant grass. Out Under the Sky is informative -- sun, clouds, seasons, stars, planets, moon -- and also includes poems and legends and old sayings. The Doctor is Coming should forestall any nervousness.
