Book Guide

What could be more sensible than making red jackets for your geese? Or planting onions in window boxes? Or buying magnifying spectacles to make your meals look bigger? The Little Old Woman who is the heroine of these tales, did all those wise things because she used her head.

Read these stories and find out all about the Little Old Woman and her head, which worked so well and so hard.

Excellent "read aloud" material for boys and girls from four to eight.
