“Every page of this richly descriptive volume seems loaded with the scents of the garden and the sounds of the summer woods.”—Toronto Globe.
“The book reminds one of Gilbert White, of Selborne, and of John Burroughs, but has a charm of its own beyond either.”—Toronto Mail and Empire.
“Her delight has been the observation of nature, the fruits of which, gathered into this volume, form a sort of Canadian counterpart to White’s “Selborne.”—Illustrated London News.
COT AND CRADLE STORIES. Edited by Mary Agnes FitzGibbon. Cloth, illustrated, $1.00.
“A veritable children’s book, but of that best kind which grown-up people also enjoy.”—Canada Presbyterian.
“This is a delightful book for little children; bright, wholesome, full of subtle touches of nature, and the best of teaching. . . We tried the book on a bright boy of four, and found it take immensely and at once.”—The Wesleyan.
A Lady writes from London, Eng. “ ‘Cot and Cradle Stories’ is a delightful collection of the realistic, detailed histories of animals, birds and children, so dear to little people. . . It is difficult to overrate the charm of a book like this to young children, and the only difficulty I found in reading it aloud was that each story was asked for so often that I nearly despaired of getting to the next.”
