SLUMBER-TOWN TALES
By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY
SLEEPY-TIME TALES and TUCK-ME-IN TALES
Colored Wrapper and Text Illustrations Drawn by HARRY L. SMITH
————————————————————
These are fascinating stories of farmyard folk for boys and girls from about four to eight years of age.
When Mrs. Rat saw Miss Kitty Cat washing her face, she knew it meant rain. And she wouldn't let her husband leave home without his umbrella.
Henrietta Hen was an empty-headed creature with strange notions. She never laid an egg without making a great fuss about it.
The Muley Cow belonged to Johnnie Green. He often milked her; and she seldom put her foot in the milk pail.
A vain fellow was Turkey Proudfoot. He loved to strut about the farmyard and spread his tail, which he claimed was the most elegant one in the neighborhood.
Pony Twinkleheels trotted so fast you could scarcely tell one foot from another. Everybody had to step lively to get out of his way.
Old dog Spot had a keen nose. He was always ready to chase the wild folk. And he always looked foolish when they got away from him.
Grunty pig was a great trial to his mother. He found it hard not to put his feet right in the feeding trough at meal time.

Sleepy-Time Tales (Trademark Registered)
————— By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY Wrappers and illustrations in color. Drawings by HARRY L. SMITH THESE little books for little people tell of the adventures
of the four-footed creatures of our American woods
and fields in an amusing way which delights small two-footed
human beings; and at the same time, in the shortcomings of
Cuffy Bear and his neighbors, children are quick to recognize
their own faults and to take home the obvious lessons.

Tuck-Me-In Tales (Trademark Registered) ————— By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY Wrappers and illustrations in color. Drawings by HARRY L. SMITH THE stories of Jolly Robin, Old Mr. Crow and the other
birds are as unusual as they are delightful, since this is
almost the first time these feathered friends of the kiddies
have appeared in print. These bird stories, like the Sleepy-Time
animal stories, are based upon actual natural history
facts, but while the youngster eagerly listens to them, a moral
foundation, of deeper importance than that in natural history,
is being laid.
—————
Slumber-Town Tales (Trademark Registered) ————— BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY Wrappers and illustrations in color. Drawings by HARRY L. SMITH THE kiddies will love these fascinating stories of Farmyard
Folk, which tell of the daily doings of Muley Cow,
Old Dog Spot, and their companions. These tales will show
them that they have much in common with Henrietta Hen
and the others, and will develop in them a wholesome respect
for those good friends.
