  There is no other book like this, nor has there been. Mr. Frees has noequal in the posing and photographing of pet animals, especially kittensand puppies, which he delights to clothe in quaintly human style andcause to appear intently engaged in all manner of human duties andpastimes. His clever imagination also lends itself readily toentertaining story-telling. The result is a book that surprises anddelights all who see it. Each of sixty half-tones from photographs ofliving, costumed pets is faced by a page of bright descriptivenarrative. The continuation of story-interest is remarkably good, andthe pictures are a wonderful proof of what skill can do when combinedwith patience and kindness.

  "The novelty of the year in children's books, exquisitely illustrated and printed, and appealing to every lover of pets. The only way to really know and enjoy this wonderful volume is to get it and live with it. There is no other book like this, nor has there been any."--_Universalist Leader._

  "We hardly know of such a delicious book for little children, with sixty little stories and the same number of lovely full-page pictures of cats and dogs and dolls, for the delight of grown-ups just as surely as the little folks. It is a pleasant little feast all the way through for the eyes and the tender feelings."--_Herald and Presbyter._

  "There is a good deal of both fun and sentiment in the stories, and they will appeal to all lovers of pets."--_Brooklyn Daily Eagle._
