There is no other book like this, nor has there been. Mr. Frees has no
equal in the posing and photographing of pet animals, especially kittens
and puppies, which he delights to clothe in quaintly human style and
cause to appear intently engaged in all manner of human duties and
pastimes. His clever imagination also lends itself readily to
entertaining story-telling. The result is a book that surprises and
delights all who see it. Each of sixty half-tones from photographs of
living, costumed pets is faced by a page of bright descriptive
narrative. The continuation of story-interest is remarkably good, and
the pictures are a wonderful proof of what skill can do when combined
with patience and kindness.
"The novelty of the year in children's books,
exquisitely illustrated and printed, and appealing
to every lover of pets. The only way to really
know and enjoy this wonderful volume is to get it
and live with it. There is no other book like
this, nor has there been any."--_Universalist
Leader._
"We hardly know of such a delicious book for
little children, with sixty little stories and the
same number of lovely full-page pictures of cats
and dogs and dolls, for the delight of grown-ups
just as surely as the little folks. It is a
pleasant little feast all the way through for the
eyes and the tender feelings."--_Herald and
Presbyter._
"There is a good deal of both fun and sentiment in
the stories, and they will appeal to all lovers of
pets."--_Brooklyn Daily Eagle._
