Nearly 300 pages of pictures and stories, sketches, lessons, and entertainments easy to read and understand, for children six to eight years old. As bright as a book can be, and as full of help towards wholesome progress in learning, growth of mind and the formation of good habits and taste in reading. The cover is daintily beautiful. =The Pansy for 1887.= 4to, cloth, 1.75; boards, 1.25. More than 400 pages of reading and pictures for children of eight to fifteen years in various lines of interest. There are sketches of home and foreign life, religious instruction, biography, history, fiction, anecdote, letter-writing. The editor is the author of the Pansy books, which means that the drift of _The Pansy_ is all one way. The cover is almost made of pansies, purple and gold, with a pair of happy children on a grassy bank, and a flock of butterflies. =Real Fairy Folks.= By LUCY RIDER MEYER, A.M. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.50. A play-excursion into chemistry, none the less serious because it is play, and none the less play because it is serious. We quote from the author’s word to parents: “This book is true to chemical fact and principle. It is an effort to make them love the beautiful science of chemistry and to lift their thoughts to the One who holds in His hand the atoms as securely as He holds the worlds.” Nevertheless it is a book of diversion, a story-book, a fairy story-book. A queer combination, but we believe successful. We much mistake if it is not splendidly successful. =Story Book of Science.= By LYDIA HOYT FARMER. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.50. This also is fact and fiction in science; stories made upon what goes on in the world, the scientific and practical world. Glass-making is in it; and silk; a great many insects; snow; wind; the seven modern wonders; birds; animals; tea, coffee, pepper, potatoes; what not? There are subjects enough, and learning enough; and there is fun in finding out how the world is put together. =Look-About Club.= By MARY E. BAMFORD. 4to, cloth, 1.50. The Club is a family given to study of animals. Under the guise of play the family learns about spiders and butterflies, chickens and rabbits, fishes and frogs, the folks in the brook, the folks on the ground and the folks in the air, which includes grasshoppers and beetles.
