little boy.
There are several quite pleasing full-page
illustrations."--_The Dial._
"We should like to see the person who thinks it 'easy enough
to write for children' attempt a book like the 'Miss Weezy'
stories. Excepting Sophie May's childish classics, we don't
know of anything published as bright as the sayings and
doings of the little Louise and her friends. Their pranks
and capers are no more like Dotty Dimple's than those of one
bright child are like another's, but they are just as 'cute'
as those of the little folks that play in your yard or
around your neighbor's doorsteps."--_Journal of Education._
LITTLE MISS WEEZY'S SISTER
"It is one of the best of the series, and will please every
child who reads it. It is brought out just at the holiday
time, and is brimful of good things. Every character in it
is true to nature, and the doings of a bright lot of
children, in which Miss Mary Rowe figures conspicuously,
will entertain grown folks as well as little ones."
"It is a thoroughly clever and delightful story of
child-life, gracefully told, and charming in its blending of
humor and pathos. The children in the book are real
children, and the pretty plot through which they move is
fully in harmony with the characters. The young ones will
find it a storehouse of pleasant things pleasantly related,
and a book that will appeal at once to their sentiments and
sympathies."--_Boston Gazette._
"A book that will hold the place of honor on the nursery
bookshelf until it falls to pieces from much handling is
'Little Miss Weezy's Sister,' a simple, yet absorbing story
of children who are interesting because they are so real. It
is doing scant justice to say for the author, Penn Shirley,
that the annals of child-life have seldom been traced with
more loving care."--_Boston Times._
