A book made for reading aloud
Anthologies of this kind were put together for children and for the adults who read to them. The tales are short, so a reader can finish one in a single sitting. That makes them easy to share at bedtime or in a classroom.
The two compilers, Ada M. Skinner and Eleanor L. Skinner, worked in the tradition of American children's literature. Their aim was to bring together stories that teach gently and delight the ear.
A book like this does not ask for one long attention span. You can open it anywhere and begin, which is part of its charm for young listeners.
