The Rosebud Annual (James Clarke and Co.), with its large

print and easily understood reading, adapts itself well to the wants and tastes of younger children. The illustrations seem to us particularly good. The humorous pictures are full of real fun, as good as anything that we have come across in this way for some time. The comic animals—" Lion as Dentist," for instance—are indeed figures of fun, and the pigs—" You haven't left any for me "—deserve a special word of notice.
