Beschreibung

"A Present for Infants; or, Pictures for the Nursery" is a captivating contribution to children's literature, combining charming narratives with elegant illustrations aimed at captivating the imagination of young readers. The book employs a simple yet effective literary style that balances playful language with moral undertones, characteristic of early 19th-century literature for children. Its context reflects a growing recognition of the importance of early childhood education and the role of imaginative storytelling in child development during a time when literature began to shift towards catering to young audiences, diverging from didacticism towards entertainment and engagement. The author, shrouded in anonymity, reflects a broader trend of the time where societal norms often discouraged personal attribution in children'Äôs literature. This decision may underscore a desire to focus on the content and its accessibility for the youthful reader rather than personal fame. The period marks a significant transformation in societal views regarding childhood, emphasizing innocence and the importance of nurturing creativity and curiosity in the formative years of life. This delightful book is highly recommended for parents, educators, and anyone invested in nurturing the imaginations of infants and young children. Its captivating illustrations alongside simple stories not only entertain but also invite parents to engage in meaningful interactions with their little ones, making it an invaluable addition to any nursery or early childhood setting.

Table of Contents

TAKE care, little girl, that you do not fall into the water; for if once you fell in, you could not get out again, unless somebody happened to come to your assistance. When you are sent by your mother to fetch water, you should be careful how you dip your jug in; and after it is filled, you should go steadily home, without playing by the way.

Dearest Fanny, come to me,Take and eat my sweet grass here; Once you never us'd to flee,When with joy I did appear. But now, your lambkin by your sideTakes all your thoughts and all your care; I may go, and run, and ride,You are careless how, or where.

Table of Contents

"Turnips, cabbages, carrots, Ho! Now try, Ma'am; I dare say you and I can agree upon a price for this bunch of turnips: they were fresh gathered this morning, I assure you; and I think if you buy of me once, you will never buy of any body else.—Pray, Ma'am, try my fine, fresh codlins. They are very cheap, and as large as you can get any where."
