Rhymes and Jingles

Why not?" -Mary Mapes Dodge, Rhymes and Jingles (1874) Rhymes and Jingles (1874) by Mary Mapes Dodge contains 200 poems written to delight children.

They are also accompanied by line drawings. When it appeared, the book was so popular that it was often compared favorably to the author's more famous work, Hans Brinker.
