Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A classic volume in the Rollo series presenting lessons of industry, responsibility, and practical learning through everyday experience. In Rollo at Work, Jacob Abbott continues the educational adventures of young Rollo as he encounters situations designed to cultivate diligence, curiosity, and sound judgment.Through a sequence of simple but purposeful episodes, Rollo is guided by adults who encourage observation, reasoning, and self-reliance. The narrative emphasizes the value of work not merely as labor, but as a means of developing character, discipline, and understanding. Abbott's method blends storytelling with instruction, offering young readers clear examples of how to approach tasks thoughtfully and responsibly.First published in the mid-nineteenth century, the Rollo books were widely used for both reading and moral education, reflecting an early American approach to childhood development grounded in practical knowledge and ethical formation. Rollo at Work remains a representative example of this tradition, valued for its clarity, structure, and enduring instructional purpose. Seller Inventory # 9781515401568
