A little about the story
A kindergarten in rhyme: Mother Truth's Melodies swaps nonsense nursery verses for rhymes that teach. Children learn about daisies and buttercups, ponies, oxen and elephants, wind, fog, rain and snow, the earth's axis, heat and cold, numbers and grammar, all in sing-song verse.
Mrs. E. P. Miller wanted to give small children common sense along with their rhymes. The result is a quaint, charming glimpse of Victorian ideas about early education.
