THE LITTLE MISS WEEZY SERIES
Three volumes Illustrated Boxed, each 75 cents
LITTLE MISS WEEZY
One of the freshest and most delightful, because the most natural of thestories of the year for children, is "Little Miss Weezy," by PennShirley. It relates the oddities, the mischief, the adventures, and themisadventures of a tiny two-year-old maiden, full of life and spirit,and capable of the most unexpected freaks and pranks. The book is fullof humor, and is written with a delicate sympathy with the feelings ofchildren, which will make it pleasing to children and parents alike.Really good child literature is not over-plenty, despite the multitudeof books that come daily from the press; and it is pleasing to welcome anew author whose first volume, like this one of Penn Shirley, addspromise of future good work to actual present merit.--_Boston Courier_.

LITTLE MISS WEEZY'S BROTHER
This is a good story for young children, bringing in the same charactersas "Little Miss Weezy" of last year, and continuing the history of avery natural and wide-awake family of children. The doings and thevarious "scrapes" of Kirke, the brother, form a prominent feature of thebooks, and are such as we may see any day in the school or home life ofa well-cared-for and good-intentioned little boy. There are severalquite pleasing full-page illustrations.--_The Dial_.
We should like to see the person who thinks it "easy enough to write forchildren," attempt a book like the "Miss Weezy" stories. ExceptingSophie May's childish classics, we don't know of anything published asbright as the sayings and doings of the little Louise and her friends.Their pranks and capers are no more like Dotty Dimple's than those ofone bright child are like another's, but they are just as "cute" asthose of the little folks that play in your yard or around yourneighbor's doorsteps.--_Journal of Education_.

LITTLE MISS WEEZY'S SISTER
"It is one of the best of the series, and will please every child whoreads it. It is brought out just at the holiday time, and is brimful ofgood things. Every character in it is true to nature and the doings of abright lot of children, in which Miss Mary Rowe figures conspicuously,will entertain grown folks as well as little ones."
It is a thoroughly clever and delightful story of child life, gracefullytold, and charming in its blending of humor and pathos. The children inthe book are real children, and the pretty plot through which they moveis fully in harmony with the characters. The young ones will find it astorehouse of pleasant things pleasantly related, and a book that willappeal at once to their sentiments and sympathies.--_Boston Gazette_.
A book that will hold the place of honor on the nursery bookshelf untilit falls to pieces from such handling is "Little Miss Weezy's Sister," asimple, yet absorbing story of children who are interesting because theyare so real. It is doing scant justice to say for the author, PennShirley, that the annals of child-life have seldom been traced with moreloving care.--_Boston Times_.
