- Abstract
- en_US The tracks that are made in these stories and their accompanying white-on-black drawings are letters of the alphabet in correct handwriting. Thus a very young bird who runs around, flies up but falls down twice, and then turns a somersault makes Ow (6). A frog jumping to lily-pads has the stuff for m and n. Two mice playing tag make an x. It takes a hump-backed fish to make a good z in the water. Of course, these stories really have nothing to do with fables! The advertisements for handwriting aids at the back of this book are a delight. Note for example the perfect posture and positioning of the six young women writing on the board, each holding the eraser behind her with her left hand. One can also attend Zanerian College in Columbus for a teacher's summer course in penmanship!
