This book is a selection of little volumes of children's verse. It appears from time to time in "The Youth's Companion", "Ladies' World", "Farm and Home", "Outlook", "Sunday School Times", "Forward", and "The Independent"; and if in bringing them together, occasionally here and there verses a trifle beyond "the barefoot time" have crept in, perhaps they were not unintentionally admitted for "children of a larger growth".
