LITTLE FOLKS ASTRAY.
"This is a book for the little ones of the nursery or playroom. It introduces all the old favorites of the Prudy and Dotty books with new characters and funny incidents. It is a charming book, wholesome and sweet in every respect, and cannot fail to interest children under twelve years of age."--Christian Register.

All the funny sayings and doings of the queerest and cunningest little woman ever tucked away in the covers of a book will please little folks and grown people alike."--Press.

How she nearly drowns her bosom friend, and afterwards saves her by a very remarkable display of little-girl courage. How she gets left by a train of cars, and loses her kitten and finds it again, and is presented with a baby sister 'come down from heaven,' with lots of smart and funny sayings."--Boston Traveller.

SOPHIE MAY'S "LITTLE-FOLKS" BOOKS
LITTLE GRANDMOTHER.
"Grandmother Parlen when a little girl is the subject. Of course that was ever so long ago, when there were no lucifer matches, and steel and tinder were used to light fires; When soda and saleratus had never been heard of, but people made their pearl ash by soaking burnt crackers in water; when the dressmaker and the tailor and the shoemaker went from house to house twice a year to make the dresses and coats of the family."--Transcript.
LITTLE GRANDFATHER.
"The story of Grandfather Parlen's little boy life, of the days of knee breeches and c.o.c.ked hats, full of odd incidents, queer and quaint sayings, and the customs of 'ye olden time.' These stories of Sophie May's are so charmingly written that older folks may well amuse themselves by reading them. That same warm sympathy with childhood, the earnest naturalness, the novel charm of the preceding volumes will be found in this."--Christian Messenger.
MISS THISTLEDOWN.
"One of the queerest of the Prudy family. Read the chapter heads and you will see just how much fun there must be in it: 'Fly's Heart,' 'Taking a Nap,' 'Going to the Fair,' 'The Dimple Dot,' 'The Hole in the Home,'
'The Little Bachelor,' 'Fly's Bluebeard,' 'Playing Mamma,' 'b.u.t.ter Spots,' 'Polly's Secret,' 'The Snow Man,' 'The Owl and the Humming- Bird,' 'Talks of Hunting Deer,' and 'The Parlen Patchwork.'"
