Associated with Addy Learns a Lesson. Released in 1993, retired in 2002. After retirement, the slate and slate pencil were sold with Addy's Double Desk.
Addy’s striped satchel has everything you’ll need to help her practice the “three R’s”—reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic! Her Union Reader is a miniature version of a real schoolbook used in northern schools in the 1860’s. If you have good eyes, you can really read it! Addy learned to write with a slated pencil and a big double slate. The yarn binding around the slate’s edges kept if from scraping against her desktop and disturbing her desk partner. Addy used a wooden abacus, or “numeral frame,” to learn arithmetic. Slide the little beads back and forth to help her add and subtract.
I purchased this on Ebay therefore it is incomplete, I am missing the Union Reader.
But anyhow, I HAD TO HAVE this because of the adorable abacus!!! I JUST LOVE it!
The pattern on the slate bag is very cute and the abacus is well crafted and just perfection to every detail.
I wish Addy's school supply set came with more pieces, but then I guess that would not be as realistic considering extra school supplies was probably a luxury.
Grade: A+
