"Woodworth is unquestionably and immeasurably the best writer
for children that we know of; for he combines a sturdy common
sense and varied information with a most childlike and loveful
spirit, that finds its way at once to the child's heart. We
regard him as one of the truest benefactors of his race; for he
is as wise as he is gentle, and never uses his power over the
child-heart, to instill into it the poison of false teaching, or
to cramp it with unlovely bigotry. The publishers have done
their part, as well as the author, to make these volumes
attractive. Altogether we regard them as one of the pleasantest
series of juvenile books extant, both in their literary
character and mechanical execution."--_Syracuse (N.Y.) Daily
Standard._
WOODWORTH'S STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS. 12mo., with Illuminated Title, and
upwards of Fifty Beautiful Engravings; pp. 336.
WOODWORTH'S STORIES ABOUT BIRDS. Uniform with the above. With Sixty
splendid Engravings; pp. 336.
These two volumes, containing characteristic anecdotes, told in a racy
and pleasing vein, are among the most entertaining books of the kind
to be found in the English language.
"Attractive stories, told in a style of great liveliness and
beauty. As a writer for the young, the author is surpassed by
very few, if any writers in this country."--_N.Y. Tribune._
"A _melange_ of most agreeable reading."--_Presbyterian._
"They cannot fail to be intensely interesting."--_Ch. Register._
"Charming stories, told with that felicitous simplicity and
elegance of diction which characterize all Mr. Woodworth's
efforts for the young."--_N.Y. Commercial Advertiser._
"Nothing can be more interesting than the stories and pictorial
illustrations of these works."--_Brattleborough Dem._
"We never pen a notice with more pleasure than when any work of
our friend Mr. Woodworth is the subject. Whatever he does is
well done, and in a sweet and gentle spirit."--_Christ.
Inquirer._
"The author is a man of fine abilities and refined taste, and
does his work in a spirit of vivacious, but most truthful
earnestness."--_Ladies' Repos._
