Among the Meadow People

Page 9

by Clara Dillingham Pierson


  "In it, as in the old Greek comedies, the frogs have a voice and speak their little orations and crack their jokes and play their pranks. The 'science' is elementary but the entertainment genuine, and the little people to whom it is read will ever cherish a kindly interest in the denizens of the ponds and their floral homes and environments."--_Interior._

  "One lays down the book with quickened sympathy for everything that crawls and creeps and swims."--_Critic._

  "The Pond People are quite as real and as fascinating as were the Meadow People and the Barnyard People of previous books. They are genuine stories, full of a humor that will appeal to boys and girls, yet cleverly conveying information about the frogs, turtles, minnows, etc., and often suggesting a moral in a delicate manner which no child could resent."--_Congregationalist._

  "In its way the work is very daintily done."--_Churchman._
