A brightly written story about children from eleven to
thirteen years of age, who live in a suburban town, and
attend a public grammar school. The book is full of incident
of school and home life.
[Illustration:]
The story deals with real life, and is told in the simple
and natural style which characterized Miss Reed's popular
"Brenda" stories.--_Washington Post._
There are little people in this sweetly written story with
whom all will feel at once that they have been long
acquainted, so real do they seem, as well as their plans,
their play, and their school and home and everyday
life.--_Boston Courier._
Her children are real; her style also is natural and
pleasing.--_The Outlook_, New York.
Miss Reed's children are perfectly natural and act as real
girls would under the same circumstances. Nap is a lively
little dog, who takes an important part in the development
of the story.--_Christian Register_, Boston.
A clever story, not a bit preachy, but with much influence
for right living in evidence throughout.--_Chicago Evening
Post._

ANNA CHAPIN RAY'S
"TEDDY" STORIES
Miss Ray's work draws instant comparison with the best of
Miss Alcott's: first, because she has the same genuine
sympathy with boy and girl life; secondly, because she
creates real characters, individual and natural, like the
young people one knows, actually working out the same kind
of problems; and, finally, because her style of writing is
equally unaffected and straightforward.--_Christian
Register_, Boston.
