Schwartz, Julia Augusta. Wilderness babies. [†]$1.50. Little.
Sixteen delightful stories which tell of sixteen equally delightful animal families. Young folks, when they have read them, will feel a truly friendly interest in: The one with a pocket: the opossum; The one that eats grass in the sea: the manatee; The biggest one: the whale; The one that lives in a crowd: the buffalo; and all the rest, elk, beaver, rabbit, squirrel, bear, fox, wolf, panther, seal, shrew, mole, and bat.
[*] “To make the stories quite perfect, it would be well that a naturalist should give them careful revision, so they may teach as well as charm the children, for whom they are written.”

[*] “The stories should not only prove attractive to children, but they should give them much interesting information about the children of the woods.”
