“This story book is a great favorite with the little folks, for it
contains just such stories as they like to hear their aunt and older
sister tell; and learn them by heart and tell them over to one another
as they set out the best infant tea-set, or piece a baby quilt, or
dress dolls, or roll marbles. A book to put on the book-shelf in the
play-room where ‘Susie’ and ‘Prudy,’ ‘Captain Horace,’ ‘Cousin Grace,’
and all the rest of the ‘Little Prudy’ folks are kept.”--_Vermont
Record._
LITTLE PRUDY’S COUSIN GRACE
“An exquisite picture of little-girl life at school and at home, and
gives an entertaining account of a secret society which originated in
the fertile brain of Grace, passed some comical resolutions at first,
but was finally converted into a Soldiers’ Aid Society. Full of life,
and fire, and good advice; the latter sugar-coated, of course, to suit
the taste of little folks.”--_Press._
LITTLE PRUDY’S DOTTY DIMPLE
“Dotty Dimple is the plague of Prudy’s life, and yet she loves her
dearly. Both are rare articles in juvenile literature, as real as Eva
and Topsy of ‘Uncle Tom’ fame. Witty and wise, full of sport and study,
sometimes mixing the two in a confusing way, they run bubbling through
many volumes, and make everybody wish they could never grow up or
change, they are so bright and cute.”
DOTTY DIMPLE AT HER GRANDMOTHER’S
“Sophie May’s excellent pen has perhaps never written anything more
pleasing to children, especially little girls, than ‘Dotty Dimple.’
If the little reader follows Dotty through these dozen chapters--from
her visit to her grandmother to the swing under the trees--he or she
will say: ‘It has been a treat to read about Dotty Dimple, she’s so
cunning.’”--_Herald of Gospel Liberty._
DOTTY DIMPLE OUT WEST
“Dotty’s trip was jolly. In the cars, where she saw so many people that
she thought there’d be nobody left in any of the houses, she offers to
hold somebody’s baby, and when it begins to cry she stuffs pop-corn
into its mouth, nearly choking it to death. Afterwards, in pulling a
man’s hair, she is horrified at seeing his wig come off, and gasps
out, ‘Oh, dear, dear, dear, I didn’t know your hair was so tender!’
Altogether, she is the cunningest chick that ever lived.”--_Oxford
Press._
DOTTY DIMPLE AT HOME
“This little book is as full of spice as any of its predecessors,
and well sustains the author’s reputation as the very cleverest of
all writers of this species of children’s books. Were there any
doubt on this point, the matter might be easily tested by inquiry in
half the households in the city, where the book is being revelled
over.”--_Boston Home Journal._
