4} oN 14, 1925 November WINNETKA TALK ls ici oct fom "DOCTOR DOLITTLE'S ZOO" | By Hugh Lofting Frederick A. Stokes Co. It was not only the broken animals waiting to be mended who were glad discoveries of the world, as it has been | written by T. C. Bridges. Condensed | as it must be the Wn Yas been able to keep from making it read like a | record of their to have Dr. Dolittle return from his | three years' travels and settle down in another book. A season without the Doctor would be like without snow. Everything was in readiness for the great man's return. Dab Dab had a secretive air until the door to the sel- dom used dining room was thrown open, disclosing a scene gay with dec- orations of ribbon and evergreen, with all of the family dressed in fancy costumes reminiscent of the days of the Doctor's circus. After the elaborate dinner, an excellent entertainment was given at which Gub-Gub recited one of his favorite poems, "The Wilted Cauliflower," and each of the animals contributed a stunt to add to the mer- riment, and the Doctor told of his travels till after midnight. Soon began the working out of the Doctor's latest plan, that of making a zoo in the garden, which instead of being a prison for animals should be a home. Clubs, stores, playgrounds, all are provided. The rush of animals making application for residence is ter- rific. As with any fashionable club, all they could do was to put the re- maining names on a waiting list and take in their owners when members died or resigned. "Dr. Dolittle's Zoo" is a book for children or adults. Anyone--and it is nearly everyone--who knows Hugh Lofting's humor and imagination, both in stories and illustrations, need only be told that this is worthy of him. "THE YOUNG FOLKS BOOK OF DISCOVERY" By T. C. Bridges and "THE YOUNG FOLKS BOOK OF THE HEAVENS" By Mary Proctor Little Brown & Co. There is in every boy or girl the heart of an adventurer. At fifteen al- most every one of them would start unhesitatingly with Balboa on his jour- ney to the sea, or with Drake on his plundering way around the world. So there is scarcely one that would not like the fascinating story of the great Vainglory by Ronald Firbank A smart book about smart people . . 2° Brentano's -- Chicago a Christmas | card, and the thread of runs smooth and railway time- narrative Starting with the ancient Phoeni- cians who left only the most incidental amazing voyages made on the uncharted seas, we sail with Norsemen and Spaniards, and travel eastward with Marco Polo. Those ages before adventures were abolished were great ones, to which not only children sometimes thankfully return. "The Young Folks Book of the Heavens" is the kind of story guar- anteed to take the conceit out of any- one. What a chastening effect it has to read again the familiar figures "a cannon ball moving at the rate of 1700 fcet a second would require nine years for the journey"; "If a tunnel could be made through the sun there would be ample room in this for 109 globes the size of our planet." The book de- scribes comets, and meteors, the mys- terious sunspots, the glorious corona visible during an eclipse of the sun, in short it gives a very readable and instructive story of the celestial uni- verse. strong.
