This book, based on a unique experience, gives us an insight into a facet of childhood development which we have not had before.

The Golden Gate Kindergarten Association, founded in San Francisco in 1878, now conducts a Nursery School and Child Art Classes. The Nursery School directed by Rhoda Kellogg since 1945 is singular because it admits children as young as 24 months for day care. Some of the activities provided for these children are scribbling, drawing, easel painting and finger painting; for the past 20 years, the author has collected, dated, and named these scribblings, drawings, and paintings. This accumulation contains a complete spectrum of material from the child's earliest attempts at scribbling to the pictorial efforts of children aged 24 to 60 months.
