"The very pretty stories of animal life, 'Among the Forest
People,' and 'Among the Meadow People,' are continued in Clara
D. Pierson's 'Among the Farmyard People.' To those who know the
earlier volumes, this needs no introduction or praise. To those
who may still have that pleasure in store, we can commend
heartily these tenderly realistic conversations, which show a
sympathetic knowledge at once of animals and of children, who
will be amused and taught and edified by these dainty little
tales that never obtrude the always healthy moral of this
genuine Child's Book of Nature."--_Churchman._
"They will be found valuable for use by mothers and kindergarten
teachers. The beautiful illustrations furnished by F. C. Gordon
are distinctively instructive. Altogether the book is one of the
most desirable works that can be found to train the child's
imagination, affection, and powers of observation."--_Boston
Beacon._
"We heartily recommend the book for its thoroughly healthy tone,
far better adapted to a sweet and simple childhood than much of
the rather stimulating juvenile literature of the day."--_N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser._
"A helpful book for young readers, teaching first lessons in
natural history, and inculcating principles of love for
animals."--_Philadelphia Evening Telegram._
"A charming and pretty book for young children. It will help
them to observe, and it will also help them to think. Nearly
every story ends with something unsaid, which the nursery people
are to think out for themselves."--_Church Standard._
