Chatterbox  Junior.  New  York  :  R.  Worthington.
Price,  1 1. 25.
There  is  certainly  one  point  in  which  we  cannot  laud
the  days  of  our  fathers  as  compared  with  our  own;  that
is  in  juvenile  literature.  This  demands  and  receives
nearly,  if  not  quite,  as  much  skill  and  ability  in  artistic
construction  as  any  other  class  of  books  published.
"Chatterbox  Junior"  belongs  to  that  class  of  books
which  has  become,  in  the  last  few  years,  the  children's
best  and  most  welcome  friend.  It  is  just  the  book  to
delight  a  small  child,  and  an  admirable  thing  for  a
number  six  .Christmas  stocking.

There  was  a  Little  Girl.  By  Henry  Wadsworth
Longfellow,  illustrated  by  Bertha  M.  Schaeffer.  R.
Worthington,  N.  Y.
This  story  in  rhyme  of  "The  Little  Girl  Who  had
the  Little  Curl,"  is  one  of  the  happiest  tokens  of  that
genial  and  simple-hearted  temper,,  which  made  the
great  poet  the  most  lovable  and  beloved  of  men.  The
drawing  and  coloring  are  in  admirable  style.  The
design  and  execution  of  the  whole  work,  especially  the
initials  of  the  versicles  and  silhouettes,  are  entirely
original.
