This classic early-reading book for Waldorf schools contains stories and poems that range in style and content from the fairytale elements of Class 1 (ages 6 to 7) to the legends and animal fables introduced in Class 2 (ages 7 to 8).
Rhythmic repetition of words, sounds, and phrases is used throughout the book, but especially frequently in the tales for younger children.
