Nipping Bear. By H. L'Estrange Malone. Illustrated by Gordon Robinson.

(A. and C. Black. 3s. 6d.)-Adventures of a child among forest animals, particularly a bear who tells the story of his life in a circus menagerie. As a gift-book it is a little uncomfortably full of texts and hymns. The illustrations are attractive.
