In these stories, the Sunbeams are made to talk and laugh and play, just like children. They are delightful. Sometimes when they are naughty, Father Sun shuts them up in a cloud all day, where it is wet and rainy, and then they get good and promise not to tease and be bad any more. And then he lets them out, and they come down among the flowers and children and make everything bright and happy. The fancy is pretty, and we are sure the little children will thoroughly enjoy the little Sunbeams. Pretty pictures and fine press-work and paper, make it a beautiful book.-Christian Observer, Louisville, Ky.
"The stories are fascinating-rivalling the best works of imagination. For purity and simplicity of style and diction, they are classic."-LOCKE RICHARDSON.

The "ship's company" that embarked one May morning for a holiday cruise on the "cat-boat" Lady Gray, consisted according to "the log," of the skipper, two cabin-boys, one ship's clerk, one small child, and two supernumeraries. The ship's clerk, who kept "the log," was a young girl, the small child was a much younger girl, and the supernumeraries were two dolls, who came in for a fair share of adventure, although they did not, like the others, suffer from "short commons," or join in the welcome meal of "hoe cake and sorghum," with difficulty obtained from the half famished "company." The story is one for young people; it is pleasantly told, and will be appreciated, especially by those who are interested in good books for children.
The "Log of Lady Gray" is a bright little record of the cruise of a party in a cat-boat with enigmas, riddles, and other verbal amusements to give variety.-Public Opinion.
The book abounds in fun and frolic, and suggestions of a sweet and happy daily life.-The Evangelist.
The book is full of sprightly good things.-Herald and Presbyter.
