Small people like to hear about this father and mother robin and their
four babies.

Mrs. Sarah Trimmer ... was a woman of more than the average
education and accomplishment of her day, and enjoyed the
friendship of Dr. Samuel Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and nearly
all of the more celebrated English authors and painters of that
time. She wrote a great many books.... They are now nearly all of
them dead and forgotten; but one of them at least has lived, and
has been the delight of thousands of children for over
three-quarters of a century.--_Introduction._

WIGGIN, K.D. (S.), and N.A. SMITH.

These fourteen little stories include some about children and some
about animals. They are just the sort of narratives that small folks
love, and are designed for retelling in the kindergarten and home.
There are, in addition, three adaptations of well-known tales:
Moufflou, Benjy in Beastland, and The Porcelain Stove, and a poem by
Mrs. Wiggin.

GEOGRAPHY, TRAVEL, AND DESCRIPTION

Where shall we adventure, to-day that we're afloat,
Wary of the weather and steering by a star?
Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat,
To Providence, or Babylon, or off to Malabar?
