[Book number 123.] The first page of text (which is not illustrated) opens with a poem: Das Einmaleins ("Wer's Einmaleins nicht grundlich kann, Ist oft im Leben schlimm daran..."). 2) Das Schone ABC: Pages are loose; a couple pages have edge chips. Six pages of color ABC illustrations with corresponding rhymes (H/h: "Ich bin Husar - wie mich das freut! / War ich's noch nicht, so wurd'ich's heut"). 10 pp. 21 x 15 cm.
