Chicago: Scott, Foresman and Company, 1936. Second edition, Hardcover, 5 1/2 x 7 1/2". 144 pp. Green, black and orange cloth over boards with illustration on cover, corner bumping and some spine cloth fraying, a few stains. Interior has some stains throughout and small amounts of foxing but is overall very bright and clean with many colorful illustrations by Miriam Story Hurfurd. Very good condition.William S. Gray developed the Curriculum Foundation Series of books for Scott, Foresman and Company. His vision was to tie "subject area" books in health, science, social studies, and arithmetic (each discipline having its own series of graded texts also published by Scott, Foresman and Company) with the vocabulary mastered in the basic readers, thus vastly improving readability in these same areas. These books often had the very recognizable names of Dick and Jane.
