“This is a book in advance of the ‘Very Little Tales,’ and intended for older lads and misses, to whom it will doubtless prove an acceptable gift.”
“The embellishments are well engraved, and the ornamental work is in a novel style, quite attractive and appropriate. The humorous and pathetic verses scattered through the volume, will prove a very popular feature among the young people. Mr. Appleton has judged well in commencing a series of juvenile books, in which the matter and the embellishments are made the objects of sedulous attention. Such juvenile books are wanted; and parents are willing to make some little sacrifice in order that the moral and intellectual tastes of their children may be gratified with appropriate food.”—U. S. Gazette.
“It is delightful to survey the increasing facilities for the diffusion of knowledge, and especially among children. Not always, it is true, does the enlargement of intellect insure the increase of virtue, but it is an efficient method to counteract the tendency to vice, and to elevate the taste above the grovelling pursuits of life. It was a wise saying of Newton—‘if I want a bushel of wheat without any tares, all I have to do is to fill the bushel first with wheat.’ Thus, we say, if it is desired to keep a child in the path of security and uprightness, fill its mind with the principles of love, of decorum and truth.”—Courier and Enquirer.
