=Bubbling Teapot.=
A Wonder Story by LIZZIE W. CHAMPNEY.
A discontented little girl is the Bubbling Teapot of
a sort of Japanese Arabian Night. She tries a great
many kinds of life and concludes that the nicest life,
after all, is that of a little American girl. It is a
dream-story.
=In No-Man’s Land.=
A Wonder Story by E. S. BROOKS.
A Dream-story as droll as Alice in Wonderland. Not like
Alice; and yet can there be two sorts of dream-nonsense
so witty and wild, so mixed up and yet not muddy a
whit? The plays on nursery rhymes are enough to make
the fortune of almost a dull book. And “there isn’t a
dull line in it.”
=Dilly and the Captain.=
BY MARGARET SIDNEY.
A bicycle-tricycle story of pioneers and explorers in
search of the place where children should be seen and
heard too. A very jolly story.
=Nelly Marlow in Washington.=
By LAURA D. NICHOLS. Square, 8vo, boards, $1.25; cloth, $1.50.
Nelly sees the Capitol and the Capital. There are
wonderful things to be seen there; too many to think of
out of the book. It’s a story besides. Nelly brings up
in the Adirondacks before her play-time is over.
=Overhead=: or what Harry and Nelly discovered in the heavens. By ANNIE
MOORE and LAURA D. NICHOLS. Introduction by Leonard Waldo, of Harvard

A trip to the moon, Saturn, the sun, and various other
stations, in great big letters and pictures, with a
little bit of easy astronomy sprinkled in.
=Underfoot=, or what Harry and Nelly learned of the earth’s treasures.
By LAURA D. NICHOLS. Square 8vo, boards, 1.25; cloth, 1.50.
Peeps at the world we live on and into it here and
there where the holes are.
=Up Hill and Down Dale.= By LAURA D. NICHOLS. Square 8vo, boards, 1.25;

Nelly leaves Harry at business and goes to the country.
What she sees there is in the book, and a great many
things besides.
=Cats’ Arabian Nights.= By ABBY MORTON DIAZ. 8vo, boards, 1.25.
The wonderful cat story of cat stories told by
Pussyanita that saved the lives of all the cats,
the funniest, wittiest story that ever was [so says
Pussyanita]; and that is why it is wonderful. King
Grimalkum must have been a credulous fellow; but nobody
blames him for losing his wits to such a teller of cat
stories.
=Fireside Chronicles, or the Family Story-Teller.= By ABBY MORTON DIAZ.
Fifteen different chronicles, every one of them funnier
than the last one; and five times as many pictures of
what they’re about. A great deal of wisdom in with the
fun.
=Wonder Stories.=
3 volumes, 12mo, cloth, each 1.50.
