FLAXIE’S KITTYLEEN.

“KITTYLEEN—­one of the Flaxie Frizzle series—­is a genuinely helpful as well as delightfully entertaining story:  The nine-year-old Flaxie is worried, beloved, and disciplined by a bewitching three-year-old tormenter, whose accomplished mother allows her to prey upon the neighbors.  ’Everybody felt the care of Mrs. Garland’s children.  There were six of them, and their mother was always painting china.  She did it beautifully, with graceful vines trailing over it, and golden butterflies ready to alight on sprays of lovely flowers.  Sometimes the neighbors thought it would be a fine thing if she would keep her little ones at home rather more; but, if she had done that, she could not have painted china.’”—­Chicago Tribune.

FLAXIE GROWING UP.

“No more charming stories for the little ones were ever written than those comprised in the three series which have for several years past been from time to time added to juvenile literature by SOPHIE MAY.  They have received the unqualified praise of many of the most practical scholars of New England for their charming simplicity and purity of sentiment.  The delightful story shows the gradual improvement of dear little Flaxie’s character under the various disciplines of child-life and the sweet influence of a good and happy home.  The illustrations are charming pictures.”—­Home Journal.

PENN SHIRLEY’S STORIES

FOR THE LITTLE ONES

Miss Penn Shirley is a very graceful interpreter of child-life.  She thoroughly understands how to reach out to the tender chord of the little one’s feelings, and to interest her in the noble life of her young companions.  Her stories are full of bright lessons, but they do not take on the character of moralizing sermons.  Her keen observation and ready sympathy teach her how to deal with the little ones in helping them to understand the lessons of life.  Her stories are simple and unaffected.—­Boston Herald.
