    Anyone familiar with the Browne Readers?

    I was given one the other day (it is book number 2, which I think from it would have been used in the 2nd half of Grade 1.)  They copyright page is missing so I don’t know how old it is – but it looks at least as old as my copy of “Our New Friends” (Dick and Jane) that is from 1941…. and I think it is even older.

    “Our New Friends” was used for the 2nd half of Grade 1 in 1941… and my 5yo (as of today!) is almost finished reading it.  Trying to decide if I’ll have her read the Browne Reader or something else.

    I just happened to notice “The Browne Readers” on my mother’s bookshelf and did a Google search, just to see if it turned up any results.  (My great grandmother wrote them.)  I found your post, and can tell you that the books were published in 1917.  I can’t weigh in on how these compare to other books, but thought I would at least answer your question regarding publish date.
