THE STORY OF THE GREEKS, THE STORY OF THE ROMANS, and THE STORY OF THE ENGLISH are three good books by H. A. Guerber, which will help to create an interest in the history of those peoples and at the same time give information valuable in reading literature. All are published for school use by the American Book Company. CHILD'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND, by _Charles Dickens_. This book is always interesting to children, and is such good reading that we need not feel afraid of Dickens' inexactness and apparent prejudices. Read it as literature, not so much as history. BIRDS AND BEES, SHARP EYES AND OTHER PAPERS, by _John Burroughs_. Houghton, Mifflin Co. Though this may seem rather hard reading to some, it is delightful literature, and full of good lessons in observation for children. Other books by the same author are equally entertaining. An excellent book to read to children. INDIAN DAYS OF THE LONG AGO, by _E. S. Curtis_. World Book Co. THE MAGIC FOREST, by _Stewart Edward White_. Macmillan Co. THE WORLD OF THE GREAT FOREST, by _Paul Du Chaillu_. Harper and Bros. An interesting account of animal life, not without some literary merit.
