The first ^contains nursery rhymes set to the old familiar tunes; the second, songs and singing games; and the third, five playlets each consisting of a group of songs built up around a story, although each song may be taken from its context and used individually. This section includes illustrations of simple scenery, and suggestions for costumes and properties.The foreword stresses the importance of developing, even in very young children, a wider appreciation of the arts, and the introduction is brimful of suggestions for the best use of the material in this collection.
