A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Mrs. H. L. Elmendorf.

Lang, Andrew (Editor).

The Nursery Rhyme Book.
Illustrated by L. Leslie Brooke. Warne. 1.50

An exceptional collection of the ancient rhymes, songs, charms, and lullabies, accompanied by interesting pictures.

"In Mr. Halliwell's Collection, from which this volume is abridged, no manuscript authority goes further back than the reign of Henry VIII, though King Arthur and Robin Hood are mentioned.... Thus our old nursery rhymes are smooth stones from the book of time, worn round by constant friction of tongues long silent."

Stevenson, R. L.

A Child's Garden of Verses.
Illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith. Scribner. 2.50

It is generally admitted that no one has comprehended and written from the child's point of view as did Stevenson. This volume should be among the first to be put into the hands of our little ones. Besides the black and white text illustrations there are twelve full-page pictures in color, all by Jessie Willcox Smith.
