These two little books can be cordially recommended for use in Infants’ and Junior Schools, or for retarded children, or for the child in the nursery at home.

Not only are the verses themselves very fresh and delightful but opposite each poem is a blank page to be used by the child for drawing the picture it suggests to him. Thus the hook is not complete until the reader has done his share.

There are all sorts of ways in which this idea could be adapted by the teacher to suit varying needs and conditions, and Aliss Laird is to be congratulated on its conception and execution. We understand that most of the verses have already been illustrated by children of all types, and that it is largely in response to repeated requests from teachers that they are now made generall}’ available.
