In _The Animals’ Academy_ Mr. Neilson and Mr. Bingham have again combined
their forces, and have turned out a picture-book which for fun and variety
will be difficult to equal. In bright, musical, “catchy” verse Mr. Bingham
tells of the many amusing events that take place at a school in which the
elephant is master and other well-known animals are the scholars, and Mr.
Neilson illustrates the story as only he can illustrate animal frolics.
“A humorous, clever, and delightful book. The pictures of the dressed-up
animals will captivate little children.”—_British Weekly_.
H. B. NEILSON—JOHN BRYMER

inches by 11¼ inches, cloth back, 2_s._ 6_d._; also cloth elegant, 3_s._

Mr. Neilson surpasses himself in these irresistible colour pictures
representing the animal world at play. The great test match between the
Lions and the Kangaroos, Mrs. Mouse’s Ping-Pong Party, Mr. Bruin playing
Golf, Towser’s Bicycle Tour, and the Kittens _v._ Bunnies Football Match,
are a few among the many droll subjects illustrated in this amusing and
original series.
“Mr. Neilson has a positive genius for making animals comic.”—_Academy_.
“Children will revel in his work.”—_Daily Graphic_.
