Summary "A Mother's List of Books for Children" by Gertrude Weld Arnold is a compilation aimed at parents seeking quality literature for their children, written in the early 20th century. This resource categorizes children's books based on their suitability for various age groups, providing parents with guidance on selecting appropriate and engaging reading material for their kids. The book focuses on fostering a love of reading through carefully chosen titles, emphasizing the importance of kind and humorous literature. The opening of the book establishes the author's intent and methodology in curating this list. Arnold provides a preface that highlights her attempts to organize the selections according to age rather than school grade, recognizing the varying capacities of young readers. She expresses gratitude to various librarians and acknowledges the historical context of children's literature, reflecting on how some titles have fallen out of favor while new works emerge to shape young minds. The tone is informative and nurturing, aiming to create a resource that will bring joy and enlightenment to families through the medium of literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
