Look-About Club.
By Mary E. Bamford. 4to, cloth, 1.50.
The Club is a family given to study of animals. Under the guise of play the family learns about spiders and butterflies, chickens and rabbits, fishes and frogs, the folks in the brook, the folks on the ground and the folks in the air, which includes grasshoppers and beetles.
There is a great deal to know about our neighbors, worth knowing, too; and the surest way to begin learning is to like it. That is why such books as this are made, to make young people like the beginnings of learning.
Little Polly Blatchley.
By Frances C. Sparhawk. 4to, boards, 1.00.
Delightful stories out of little Polly’s life. Polly is what elderly people call an “old” little girl. She is continually thinking of things that little people are apt to skip; and she keeps her thoughts to herself so wisely and lets them out so in the nick of time, she delights her good papa and mamma in the book and the little girl who reads it. It is a rare book for pleasure and wholesome suggestion.
Playfellows and Their Pets.
4to, boards, 1.00.
Short stories about children, animals and birds, with a great many pictures. Not a page but is full of entertainment, instruction and means of growth for pretty good readers of six or eight or ten—Do little folks go by ages nowadays?
