Little Tricks and Baby Tricks. By Ida Waugh. (Griffith, Ferran,

and Co.) — Here is a book full of charming little pictures of boys and girls, represented after the quaint, pretty fashion which Mr. Walter Crane and his school have brought in. The verses are but indifferent. Even the youngest children should have their verses, however simple, of good quality. They soon begin to resent what is neither good sense nor good nonsense.—With this may be mentioned, Poor Daddy Long-Legs, and other Stories, by L. E. C. (Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., London ; Hodges, Figgie, and Co., Dublin.)
