Six wonderful color plates by Maud Humphrey show cherubic children, in high Victorian dress, busy with adult tasks. The boards feature two toddlers reading the newspaper, one precariously perched on a piano stool. Line drawings and fanciful borders, along with text and verse by Elizabeth Tucker tell stories of children as The Cook, The Seamstress, The Little Golfer, Tea and Gossip, Calling (Visiting), and Cleaning House. Scarce in this condition.
