The Westminster Gazette.—"Very delightful stories they are. The great difficulty with books for children is that they are often so large, a difficulty which in the case of the bound annual really assumes formidable proportions—especially to the uncle or aunt who is seized by the juvenile press-gang and coerced into reading aloud. But this 'Dumpy Book' is quite perfect from that point of view, for it is no bigger than a prayer-book. All three tales are capital fun, and admirably suited to children.... We have unreserved praise for this child's book, dainty and attractive in what it contains and in the way in which it is produced."
