Description
Shining Hours is a book of verses and tales for young children. Its opening rhyme, Come and Play, is printed with the words split into syllables for new readers. Playful kittens spring up a favorite tree and scramble into a swinging hammock. They call down to Spot, the patient dog below, to join the party. Spot will not climb; he has his master's stick in charge.
A prose tale follows, of Edith and her dolls. Edith insists on taking the old idol to bed as of old. She loves it bushels, she tells it, though it lacks two arms, fine clothes, and a parasol. The new dolly may sit in the parlor; the old one is her everyday chum. In the Meadow, a verse of a girlie, a maiden, and a kind old dog, follows.
