THE CHILDREN IN THE LITTLE OLD RED HOUSE

THE very t.i.tle of this book gives promise of a good story, and when we know that there are _eight_ of these children, as loving as they are lively, there can be no doubt of the good things in store for the reader. Their efforts to help the dearest of mothers, their merriment, which no poverty can subdue, and the great and well-deserved good fortune which comes to them, move us in rapid succession to sympathy, amus.e.m.e.nt, and delight.

[Ill.u.s.tration]

"It is a suns.h.i.+ny story of the best things in life. Men and women today need such stories quite as much as the children. It is as quaint as the "Pepper Books" for little folks, but carries a deeper treasure for older people."--_Universalist Leader._

THE RED HOUSE CHILDREN AT GRAFTON

EIGHT bright children, with a kind and loving mother, make up the Red House family, and the change to better circ.u.mstances through a new father, and a good one, does not in the least "spoil" them. There is some doubt on the part of a few of their new neighbors as to whether these numerous brothers and sisters will be good to know, but all who meet them are speedily won to friends.h.i.+p. Fun and frolic in plenty are a part of their wholesome development, and the story does not drag for a moment.

[Ill.u.s.tration]

"It is filled with fun and frolic, and yet has a tendency to carry the children's minds to higher and better things."--_Buffalo Commercial._
