IN MY NURSERY.
_A BOOK OF RHYMES_
_FOR_
_YOUNG FOLKS._
BY
LAURA E. RICHARDS.
[Ill.u.s.tration: "The baby he may be a soldier."]
"What a beautiful book! How fine are the ill.u.s.trations! How pure and sweet are these rhymes!" Grandpa bought the book, and Dot was delighted with her present. So is mamma. She says the stories are as good as she could make them herself. If you want just the daintiest book of the season, get this. Don"t be put off with something common. This beats "Mother Goose" and all the old nursery books all to pieces. It contains a great deal of sense, just a little nonsense, and sparkles with fun, which all the household will relish. This is better than forty dolls, because the dolls usually can"t talk, but this can.--_Ill.u.s.trated Christian Weekly._
This is a charming collection of nursery ballads, full of lively nonsense and quaint conceits, such as appeal to childish imaginations. The merry rhymes and grotesque ill.u.s.trations make each other doubly effective. No better book since "Mother Goose" than this for reading to children, who will cry, "Again, again," and will never tire of its felicitous jingles. It is dedicated to "My mother, Julia Ward Howe."--_Boston Woman"s Journal._
The rhymes and jingles in this little volume are very genuine products, for they have every sign of being what many nursery rhymes are not, songs which have stood the critical test of a house full of children of different ages and varying temperaments and been approved. Mrs. Richards has a natural gift of striking the whimsical without rising above the comprehension of young people, nor on the other hand, falling into the strained or the commonplace.--_New York Times._
It is like getting a new and greatly enlarged sequel to dear old "Mother Goose" to take up Mrs.
Laura E. Richards"s pretty book. She knows how to be funny without being silly; her rhymes are lively and jingle merrily on the ear; the odd fancies and quaint imagery are just of the sort to entertain very young children. "In My Nursery" may be heartily commended as an almost inexhaustible store house of amus.e.m.e.nt for little girls and boys.--_The Boston Beacon._

THE LITTLE SISTER OF WILIFRED.
A Story. By Miss A. G. Plympton, author of "Dear Daughter Dorothy" and "Betty, a b.u.t.terfly."
Ill.u.s.trated by the author. Small 4to. Cloth. Price $1.00.
[Ill.u.s.tration]
The author of "Dear Daughter Dorothy" needs no pa.s.sport to favor. That bewitching little story which she not only wrote but ill.u.s.trated must have given the name of A. G. Plympton a notable place among the writers of children"s stories. Followed by "Betty, a b.u.t.terfly" and now by "The Little Sister of Wilifred," we have a most interesting trio with which to adorn a child"s library.--_Boston Times._
