"These little talks about pictures are mainly intended to be read by a mother or by one of the older children to a little one who is learning to read"--P. [v].

"Rollo is only mentioned in the last paragraph .  Thus as far as the series of Rollo books is concerned, this could be called a fore-runner rather than a member of the series. ...   Rollo made his debut in The little scholar learning to talk ... reissued in 1839 as Rollo learning to talk"--Blanck, J. Peter Parley to Penrod, p. 3.
