Little compliments of the season, and other tiny rhymes for tiny readers. Simple verses, original, selected and translated, for namedays, birthdays, Christmas, New Year, and other festive and social occasions
A children's verse anthology compiled by Eleanor C. Donnelly and published in New York by Benziger Brothers in 1887, offering short original and translated rhymes for namedays, birthdays, Christmas, and New Year for very young readers. Its small wood-engraved pictures show children in everyday settings: a girl and boy under a blossoming tree with a bird, a girl reading beside a cat, a baby in a basket among hens, and a row of children reading on a wooden fence, giving a designer simple, warm, storybook scenes with clean hatching and open pale backgrounds.
