Lord's--Books and Station Just Inside the West Davis Street Door WINNETKA TALK r November 19, 1927 HH RR NEWEST BOOKS AND BOOK REVIEWS Just Paragraphs Children's Book Week has come round again bringing with it as it does each year a larger measure of recog- nition. Now organizations of all kinds, the Boy and Girl Scouts, the Y. M. C. A,, the Parent-Teachers Fed- eration, the Women's Clubs, schools, libraries and bookstores are joining in making it a week not only of pleasure but of profit in the furthering of read- ing and good reading for children. THE MAGIC CARPET To attempt to write about children's books for this most important week, Children's Book Week, is like trying to describe the colors of "the magic car- pet which is waiting and at a signal will carry you away. For. such a wealth of interest and talent and-- often--genius, has been poured into the making of these books that view- ing them in the mass they leave us speechless--with delight. Colorful outer covers, gay unusual illustrations, fine type, these are the clothes in which they come to us. Many dressed thus newly and beautifully are old fa- vorites, hosts of them; of these there is not space to even attempt to speak. Among the best of the new ones calling for our attention is for exam- ple, "The Wind That Wouldn't Blow" by Arthur: Bowie Chrisman. Mr. Chrisman last year was awarded the Newbury Medal for the most distin- guished contribution to children's lit- erature, his "Shen of the Sea."

Ee RA ETE I Re Se Young new book has the same charm, the same transforming touch which chil- dren's books must have to make them quite worth giving to the best of chil, dren. Another absolute favorite is A. A. Milne's "Now We Are Six." Milne's work is now so famous that it is un- necessary to do more than merely name it and every lover of "When We Were Very Young" will do the rest. This new book, while it may not be quite as spontaneous as that first, is still delightful verse. Mr. Shepherd's drawings could not be im- proved. There is a new one of that famous and unsurpassable Oz series, "The Gnome King of Oz" The Scarecrow is his same smiling self and Ozma is as fair as ever in her flowing robes. No child ever tires of these old friends. Doctor Dolittle, a creation nearly as famous though not of such long acquaintance as the Oz family, has re- turned in Hugh Lofting's latest book, -- THE A brand new Oz | GNOME KING Book to delight OF children.

Stokes & Co. $2.50 DANGEROUS BUSINESS By EDWIN BALMER A fast-moving novel of men and women caught in the craze of entertain- ing for business-- with a tremendous climax. $2.00 DODD, MEAD Brief Reviews of the Newest Books by Anne L. Whitmack The second volume of "Our Times," by Mark Sullivan, is a garrulous ac- count of the customs, fads and fancies of 1904-1908. It is highly amusing. Sea rovers of all nations have been celebrated in many stirring books. The latest contribution is by Admiral Bal- lard in his book, "Rulers of the Indian Ocean." It is an absorbing account of Chinese, Arabian and Portuguese sail- ors. The psychographic biographies of Gamaliel Bradford are an annual event. He has shown himself a thorough stu- dent, as well as a fascinating, polished and vivid stylist in his portrait of D. L. Moody, worker of souls. Last year Houghton Mifflin brought out "The Heart of Emerson's Jour- nals," edited by Bliss Perry. This year they are bringing out the very pithy and quotable "Heart of Thor- eau's Journals," edited by Udell Shep- ard. Many books on marriage have been published, and many more will be, but a sane and wholesome discussion has been Jade by Ernest R. Groves and his wife in their book, "Modern Mar- riage." They have long been known as very practical psychologists. Two new biographies have appeared on George Sand. One by Elizabeth Schermerhorn is called "Seven Strings of the Lyre" and the other by Marie Jenney Howe is called "George Sand, the Search for Love." The latter is considered to be the more able biog- raphy of a woman who thought an. lived a century ahead of her times. "Doctor Dolittle's Garden." In this the Doctor learns insect language and hears many of the life stories of this interesting and hitherto almost unknown race. Dhan Gopal Mukerji has another book, "Gay-Neck, the Story of a Pigeon." It is beautifully illustrated and while it has not perhaps quite the new charm of his earlier "Kari the Elephant," it is good reading. "Teepee Tales" by El Comancho is a real opportunity for children. These are nature stories by a man, adopted by a half dozen Indian tribes, who is a student of nature and of wild things, and who has himself followed all the old trails west of the Missouri. Another book making information pleasant is "The Earth We Live On" by Elizabeth Duval. Tt is one of those books which should be so welcome to parents since it answers the kind of questions which they usually cannot answer themselves. "The Pioneer Twins' is Lucy Fitch Perkins' contribution for the year, an addition to her interesting and really informative "T'w'ns" series. It is a story of pioneering in America in the year "49. "The Quest of the Sea Otter" by Sabra Conner is an unusually colorful story of adventure for children of a little more advanced age. "The Boy Knight of Reims" by Eloise Lowns- berry, also for older children, is a charming story of long ago. But enough, we have more than filled our space and though we have only caught feebly at one or two of the colors of the magic carpet we have at least brought it to your mind that it is*there.
