Week a few weeks ago.
There are some new books in the
library. Among them are: About
Ricco," by Eleanore Wilson.
Imagine having a fiesta given for
ones own self. That is what hap
pened to Ricco on his eighth birth
day. The Danish Signora said he
might invite six friends. Whom do
you suppose he asked to come to
his party? Vancenzo, the grocery
boy; Rudolph, the shoemaker; and
jolly Anello, the barber, were
among them. Such fun as he had
inviting them-and surprising them
too. More happy days followed for
this italian boy. Building "Star of
the Sea-" a fishing boat, with his
brothers was fun, and after ex-
citing adventures, there were more
fiestas in celebration.
TOPS and Whistles" by Carolyn
Sherwin Bailey.
American boys and girls of long
ago did not have mechanical toys
to play with as they do today, but
they had rag dolls, tops, and bows
and arrows. Here are stories about
real toys Of other days and their
owners-a Fourth of July puppet
made by a signer of the Declaration
of Independence for his children;
the toy drum that young Isham
Floyd beat while George Rogers
flood rivers to Vincennes; the doll
Letitia Penn, who travelled from
Philadelphia to England to be pre-
scented at court; and the whistle
that taught young Ben Franklin
his first lesson in thrift. You will
also enjoy the stories of the real
Jenny Lind and her namesake, a
paper doll, and Of the horse drawn
fire engine sent to a little New
York boy who was the first to dis
cover the great fire of 1870. These
are but a few Of the many delight
full stories in this book.
