The Land of Picture Books.

In the Land of Picture Books Are open roads and shady nooks. And. sandy places by the sea, And fairy rings ’neath spreading tree. There is a world of girls and boys, There are many tools and toys; Something new whenev’er one looks In the Land of Picture Books.

Curious children gather there From over seaß and everywhere, And dress so queer, and strangely play— Bet I kndw everything they say. Beasts and birds one never see* Upon our lawns or In our trees, Throng the slgHt, whene'er one looks In the Land of Picture Books. —Washington Star.
