Three Children of Galilee: A Life of Christ for the Young. By John Gordon.
There has long been a need for a Life of Christ for the young, and this book has been written in answer to this demand. That it will meet with great favor is beyond question, for parents have recognized that their boys and girls want something more than a Bible story, a dry statement of facts, and that, in order to hold the attention of the youthful readers, a book on this subject should have life and movement as well as scrupulous accuracy and religious sentiment.
Little Bermuda. By Maria Louise Pool.
Author of “Dally,” “A Redbridge Neighborhood,” “In a Dike Shanty,” “Friendship and Folly,” etc.
The adventures of “Little Bermuda” from her home in the tropics to a fashionable American boarding-school. The resulting conflict between the two elements in her nature, the one inherited from her New England ancestry, and the other developed by her West Indian surroundings, gave Miss Pool unusual opportunity for creating an original and fascinating heroine.
The Wild Ruthvens: A Home Story. By Curtis York.
A story illustrating the mistakes, failures, and successes of a family of unruly but warm-hearted boys and girls. They are ultimately softened and civilized by the influence of an invalid cousin, Dick Trevanion, who comes to live with them.
The Adventures of a Siberian Cub. Translated from the Russian of Slibitski by Leon Golschmann.
This is indeed a book which will be hailed with delight, especially by children who love to read about animals. The interesting and pathetic adventures of the orphan-bear, Mishook, will appeal to old and young in much the same way as have “Black Beauty” and “Beautiful Joe.”
Timothy Dole. By Juniata Salsbury.
