This book is lovingly dedicated to the dear kindergarten
children, and particularly to my little friend, Alice Caro Wing.



"Children are God's apostles, day by day sent forth preach of
love and hope and peace."--Lowell.



"Come to me, O, ye children!
And whisper in my ear
What the birds and winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere.

Ye are better than all the ballads
That were ever sung or said;
For ye are living poems
And all the rest are dead."--Longfellow.
