A Mother's List of Books for Children

by Gertrude Weld Arnold

The Cave Boy of the Age of Stone.
Appleton. .40

Written in accordance with modern views of science, and calculated to give children a good idea of prehistoric man and his ways. What is more, the story is sufficiently interesting to attract them.--The Athenæum.

Otis, James (Pseudonym of J.O. Kaler).

Toby Tyler, or Ten Weeks with a Circus.
Harper. .60

Little freckled Toby runs away and joins a circus, where he makes a friend of Mr. Stubbs, an old monkey. Before long, however, he is glad to be welcomed home again by old Uncle Daniel. The tawdry life of the ring is well drawn.

Ouida (Pseudonym of Louise de la Ramé).

Bimbi.
Lippincott. 1.50

Louise de la Ramé wrote these stories in a way that charms alike grown people and children. Little August and his beloved Hirschvogel the great Nürnberg stove, Florentine Lolo and his faithful Moufflou, Raphael the child of old Urbino, and others, are vividly pictured.
