A Little Pretty Pocket-Book

90Living historically.

The first book meant as a child's pleasure. Morals are sewn on. They are lighter than the Primer.

The review

Newbery made a book a child might want, not only a book a child was assigned. The alphabet comes with a game. A moral comes with the game. It was imported, and it was a present.

Most apprentices never saw it. The score is for the book, not for a claim that the colonies ran on it.

The glance

Industry is the thin one.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

The eight

9
Industry
Letters and games. Learning is smuggled into play.
9
Household
A parent gives it. That is a household act.
9
Piety
A moral is attached. A creed is not.
9
Courage
No risk. A pleasant hour.
9
Republic
A private gift, not a town.
9
Temperance
Play with a rule. Not a rot.
9
Truth
It is what it says: a pretty book for a child.
9
Stewardship
Kept, and only in houses that could spare the price.

Cinderella

90Living historically.

The work and the test are worth keeping. The prize is a court, which is thinner than a house.

The review

This is the old tale, not a studio picture. Cinderella is the one who works. Her name in the story is an insult for the ash she sleeps in. The ball is not the moral. The moral is that the house has been using her, and a true claim can be tested.

Do not teach a child that a party and a stranger are the rescue. Teach the two parts that hold: do the work, and do not pretend to be someone you are not when the test comes. The court at the end is a thinner reward than the story thinks.

The eight

9
Industry
She does the housework the others will not do. The work is why she is who she is.
9
Household
A dead mother, a cruel stepmother, sisters as a warning. The marriage is a rescue.
9
Piety
The godmother is wonder. The older telling still carries a mother's care, not a sermon.
9
Courage
She goes to the ball against the house that keeps her down.
9
Republic
The reward is a court, not a town. Rank is the prize.
9
Temperance
Midnight is a limit, and she keeps it.
9
Truth
The shoe fits one person. A claim is tested instead of announced.
9
Stewardship
In the older telling she forgives the sisters. A house is gained. It is not built.
