"This wonderful Dog
Was Dame Hubbard's delight,
He could sing, he could dance,
He could read, he could write."
Crane, Walter (Illustrator).
This Little Pig. Lane. .25
Let us travel to Piggy-land for a few moments, with the baby, and it will probably be the first of many trips, with these gay pictures to guide us.
Three Years of Age
A dreary place would be this earth,
Were there no little people in it;
. . . . . . . . . .
Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it.
Whittier.
Picture-books
