One must look far to find a more charming picture of an American child than is to be found in "Clematis", by Bertha B. and Ernest Cobb. "Clematis" is written without condescension, yet with full appreciation of the requirement of short sentences and much conversation by children just beginning to read for themselves.
So well has this been done, however, that "Clematis" becomes a living child from the moment she is found with her kitten down on Chambers Street by Jim Cunneen, the policeman, through all her experiences at the most humanized Home ever described in a child's book, until she reaches the Alder's farm at Tilton, New Hampshire, and is finally claimed by her own grandfather, who lives in the very country where she so longed to stay. Mr. Alder's farm is a real farm, and the Cobbs write from first-hand knowledge of country life.
This attractive ebook edition of "Clematis" will be eagerly read by children. The illustrations, along with the scalable text, is a model of excellence which will give this ebook a greatly extended use at a time when the writing and printing of books for young children is receiving less and less special attention from other publishers.
