FOREWORD
The Tiddly Winks are good natured little fairies who teach lessons of thrift and good cheer. Here we meet Tiddly Winks, Tiddly Wee, Tiddly Thrift, Tiddly Cheer-Up, Tiddly Scowl, and Tiddly Why, all having the characteristics of real children.
Who would not take delight in learning their A, B, C’s with the Tiddly Winks?
A story of the Wee People—for Wee People, written in charming and simple style, to be used in school and home as a first reader, carefully graded with repetition of simple words and phrases.
Objects in the school room take a lively interest in the Tiddly Winks, find voices, and even the School Bell outside remarks,
“Hear my song, hear my rhyme,Hurry children, be on time.”
“Hear my song, hear my rhyme,Hurry children, be on time.”
“Hear my song, hear my rhyme,Hurry children, be on time.”
“Hear my song, hear my rhyme,
Hurry children, be on time.”
If you still inquire, “Who are the Tiddly Winks?” we will let them reply in their own fashion,
“Who are we? Who are we?Tiddly Winks as all can see;We are a very merry band,And we come from Fairyland.”
