Jackson, Mrs. Gabrielle Emilie Snow. Wee Winkles and Snowball. †$1.25. Harper.
Wee Winkles, who is almost six and a half, Wideawake, who is more than two years older, and Snowball, who is a pet pony and does not have birthdays, are the really important characters in this story which teaches kindness and love toward animals and describes in detail how a pet pony should be cared for, harnessed and driven. Lest the book should seem too instructive there are picnics and plays, Christmas frolics and other things to hold the youthful interest.
