About This Book

A young boy visits the big city with his parents and experiences hotels, busy streets, buses, parks, ferries, and the excitement of sightseeing. Everyday outings become small adventures as he explores moving stairways, rides on top of buses, watches parades, and shops with his mother. At one point he becomes separated from his family and is later found, and he also aids neighbors and acquaintances he meets while away. The narrative follows his discoveries and mishaps and highlights growing independence, practical problem-solving, and simple acts of kindness.

 

 

Children, meet Sunny Boy, a little fellow with big eyes and an inquiring disposition, who finds the world a large and wonderful thing indeed. And somehow there is lots going on, when Sunny Boy is around. Perhaps he helps push! In the first book of this new series he has the finest time ever, with his Grandpa out in the country. He learns a lot and he helps a lot, in his small way. Then he has a glorious visit to the seashore, but this is in the next story. And there are still more adventures in other books. You will like Sunny Boy.

THE KNEETIME ANIMAL STORIES

By RICHARD BARNUM

 

 

In all nursery literature animals have played a conspicuous part; and the reason is obvious, for nothing entertains a child more than the antics of an animal. These stories abound in amusing incidents such as children adore, and the characters are so full of life, so appealing to a child's imagination, that none will be satisfied until they have met all of their favorites—Squinty, Slicko, Mappo, and the rest.

 

 

 

1.   Squinty, the Comical Pig.
2.   Slicko, the Jumping Squirrel.
3.   Mappo, the Merry Monkey.
4.   Tum Tum, the Jolly Elephant.
5.   Don, a Runaway Dog.
6.   Dido, the Dancing Bear.
7.   Blackie, a Lost Cat.
8.   Flop Ear, the Funny Rabbit.

"Life Stories with the Charm of Fiction"

"This new series is timely. As an urgent civic need, our schools should be vivified more by the spirit of the founders and builders of the Republic."

WALTER E. RANGER,

Commissioner of Education, Rhode Island.

"I regard the series one of rare usefulness for young readers, and trust it will become a formidable rival for much of the fiction now in circulation among the young."
