Tommy Thumb's Song Book/Artificial Memory for Infants
ARTIFICIAL MEMORY
FOR
INFANTS;
WHEREBY
They may Acquire
THE
KNOWLEDGE OF ANIMALS,
AND
Some of their Sounds,
BEFORE
They can go or speak.
Although this invention is calculated for the diversion of infants, yet it will afford great pleasure to the Parent and Nurse, to observe the progress, and surprising difference in the early sense of their children.
The method I propose, is that you first shew the child the following animals, one at a time, and pronounce its sound, as for example.
Ask which is the DOG? then point to it, then ask what the DOG says, then say,
BOW, WOW, WOW.
and so on to the rest, by which means, the child in a short time, will be able to do the same.
