"A thoroughly charming book for the little people, which grown
folks can read, also, with many a satisfied chuckle at its slily
insinuated 'morals,' and inimitable mingling of human sentiments
and affairs in the wild life of 'the Forest People.' The
illustrations have really artistic value; thoroughly well done,
with a pleasing combination of the conventional in form and
light and shade, they are also clever and accurate in
drawing."--_Living Church._
"A most charming series of stories for children--yes, and for
children of all ages, both young and old--is given us in the
volume before us. No one can read these realistic conversations
of the little creatures of the wood without being most tenderly
drawn toward them, and each story teaches many entertaining
facts regarding the lives and habits of these little people.
Mothers and teachers must welcome this book most cordially. One
cannot speak too strongly in praise of it."--_Boston
Transcript._
"I declare I really feel tempted to adopt or borrow a nice
little girl of six or seven, just for the pleasure of reading
this perfect book to her while she snuggles down in my
lap."--KATE SANBORN.
"The telling is conceived with decided originality."--_Outlook._
"There has not been such a book for many a year, and it makes
the old folks long to be young again."--_N. Y. Observer._
"Is an utterly delightful book for the little folk."--_Interior._
