Everyday Classics Third Reader
(MacMillan, 1917)

Reading with Expression: Third Reader
(American Book Company, 1911)
"This copy is almost identical with another book in the collection. The only difference I notice is on the verso of the title-page, where this copy substitutes "W.P. 1" for "W.P. 2" there. As I wrote there, this is a ...
More Friends Old and New
(Scott, Foresman, and Co., 1963)

Make and Make-Believe
(The Macmillan company, 1930)
A school reader in very good condition. Two fables: MM (39) has an excellent illustration. The Hunter and the Rabbit (41) is identified as by Aesop, but I think I have not seen it before. Its point is the same as ...
The New Franklin Second Reader
