By Sarah Chauncy Woolsey, written under the pseudonym "Susan Coolidge, which she also used for her "Katy Did" series (considered a precursor to the popular British girls' school stories that proliferated in the twentieth century). Nine stories with nursery-rhyme titles: "Goosey, Goosey Gander," "Little Bo-Peep," "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe," etc. Illustrated throughout at chapter headings, and with a full-page frontis drawing.

Altogether good.
