[Dotty Dimple Out West by Sophie May]@TWC D-Link bookDotty Dimple Out West CHAPTER XII 16/22
The book is full of humor, and is written with a delicate sympathy with the feelings of children, which will make it pleasing to children and parents alike. Really good child literature is not over-plenty, despite the multitude of books that come daily from the press; and it is pleasing to welcome a new author whose first volume, like this one of Penn Shirley, adds promise of future good work to actual present merit .-- _Boston Courier_. * * * * * SPECIMEN ILLUSTRATION FROM "LITTLE MISS WEEZY." [Illustration] Copyright, 1886, by LEE & SHEPARD. * * * * * LITTLE MISS WEEZY'S BROTHER This is a good story for young children, bringing in the same characters as "Little Miss Weezy" of last year, and continuing the history of a very natural and wide-awake family of children.
The doings and the various "scrapes" of Kirke, the brother, form a prominent feature of the books, and are such as we may see any day in the school or home life of a well-cared-for and good-intentioned little boy.
There are several quite pleasing full-page illustrations .-- _The Dial_. We should like to see the person who thinks it "easy enough to write for children," attempt a book like the "Miss Weezy" stories.
Excepting Sophie May's childish classics, we don't know of anything published as bright as the sayings and doings of the little Louise and her friends. Their pranks and capers are no more like Dotty Dimple's than those of one bright child are like another's, but they are just as "cute" as those of the little folks that play in your yard or around your neighbor's doorsteps .-- _Journal of Education_. * * * * * LITTLE MISS WEEZY'S SISTER "It is one of the best of the series, and will please every child who reads it.
It is brought out just at the holiday time, and is brimful of good things.
