Do you dread the prospect of a long car trip with your kids? Here’s a great book that will amuse and entertain children and make the trip easier and more pleasant. "If there is any more entertaining book for juveniles who 'want to know' than Mr. Robert Ford's Children's Rhymes, Children's Games, Children's Songs, Children's Stories, we have not yet made its acquaintance. The title is descriptive, as few titles are, of the unusual range of the book, which, be it said, will probably be read with as much zest by 'big folk' as by bairns."—Glasgow Herald. "This man Ford has his heart in the right place. He loves the children, and a man who loves children is on the way to heaven. The volume is described on the title-page as 'A Book for Bairns and Big Folk,' and no better description of it could be invented, for, while it must be interesting to the young people, it cannot fail to touch chords, perhaps long forgotten, in men and women who have left their youth behind them."—Daily Record and Mail. "The volume is a perfect mine for those in search of stories about children. Parents will find within its pages much that will fascinate and amuse them."—Dundee Courier. "Taken as a finished work, it is well done. The most harassed man of middle-age will turn over the pages with delight and have dreams of half-forgotten yore."—Glasgow Evening Citizen. "A very interesting little book, carefully made—a good one for students of folk-lore as well as children."—Athenæum. "Altogether we have here a delightful book."—Evening Times. CONTENTS.
