General-library. 4-10-31 Transper to Music PREFACE. SONGS AND GAMES FOR LITTLE ONES is designed to meet a need felt in the Kindergarten, in the school, and in the home. A large number of the songs are entirely new, and have been written expressly for this book. Kindergartners will find that many of the songs and games which have hitherto been obtainable only in manuscript form, are here newly arranged and harmonized. Special care has been taken that the harmony should be simple and correct, and for valuable help in this part of the work we are indebted to PROFESSOR E. B. STORY, of SMITH COLLEGE.
