PROMISE.

There are 24 poems in Oliver
Herford's "A Child's Primer of
Natural History" published by
Dover Publications (180 Varick,
NY14). It is a delightful children's
book, illustrated by the author.
Each poem is illustrated by one
full-page and an additional smaller
drawing. The entire collection is
an assortment of beasts, but they
are introduced in delightful fash-
ion to make the very young reader
feel part of a large sphere in which
child and animal play together.

And lis-ten while they say in-
stead
The fool-ish things we might
have said.
In similar style, with the illus-
trations that leave as much of an
impression as the texts, the Her-
ford poems fill this interesting
little book that will entertain and
inspire reading and re-reading
verses filled with humor.

I

In the Dover booklet are poems
about the seal, ant, wolf, ostrich,
giraffe, leopard, elephant, geese,
dog, cat, chameleon, etc.
A sample of witty verse is in
"The Cat" in which Herford ex-
pressed this humorous thought:
Un-like the Dog, she does not
care
With common man her thoughts
to share.
She teaches us that in life's walk
T'is bet-ter to let oth-ers talk,

from the city, although Einhorn
insisted on returning as soon as
his family were safe. At last they

In Philadelphia he continued to

Splendid Herford `Child's Primer'

Herford died in 1935. At that
time he had already gained a
world-wide reputation as a witty
writer, as an able artist, as one
who could combine the two factors
into a single literary charm.
