Tiny Folk In Red and Black. Quarto, boards, 35 cts.
The tiny folk are ants and they make as interesting a study as human folk—perhaps more interesting in the opinion of some. The book gives a full and graphic description of their many wise and curious ways—how they work, how they harvest their grain, how they milk their cows, etc. It will teach the children to keep eyes and ears open.
My Land and Water Friends. By Mary E. Bamford. Seventy illustrations by Bridgman. Quarto, cloth, 1.50.
The frog opens the book with a "talk" about himself, in the course of which he tells us all about the changes through which he passes before he arrives at perfect froghood. Then the grasshopper talks and is followed by others, each giving his view of life from his own individual standpoint.
Young Folks' Illustrated Quartos.
Wide Awake Volume Z. Quarto, boards, 1.75.
Good literature and art have been put into this volume. Henry Bacon's paper about Rosa Bonheur, the great painter of horses and lions, and Steffeck's painting of Queen Louise with Kaiser William would do credit to any Art publication.
