Black-and-White Vignettes. Picture-boards, cloth back, 3_s._ 6_d._; cloth,

In _The Animals' Academy_ Mr. Neilson and Mr. Bingham have again combined
their forces, and have turned out a picture-book which for fun and variety
will be difficult to equal. In bright, musical, "catchy" verse Mr. Bingham
tells of the many amusing events that take place at a school in which the

Neilson illustrates the story as only he can illustrate animal frolics.

animals will captivate little children."--_British Weekly_.
