Read the high commendation of the _North American Review_, which places this series at the Head of Juvenile Literature.
“Genius comes in with ‘Little Prudy.’ Compared with her, all other book-children are cold creations of Literature only; she alone is the real thing. All the quaintness of childhood, its originality, its tenderness and its teasing,--its infinite, unconscious drollery, the serious earnestness of its fun, the fun of its seriousness, the natural religion of its plays, and the delicious oddity of its prayers,--all these waited for dear Little Prudy to embody them. Sam Weller is not more piquant; Hans Andersen’s nutcrackers and knitting-needles are not more thoroughly charged with life. Who is our benefactress in the authorship of these books the world knows not. Sophie May must doubtless be a fancy name, by reason of the spelling, and we have only to be grateful that the author did not inflict on us the customary alliteration in her pseudonyme. The rare gift of delineating childhood is hers, and may the line of ‘Little Prudy’ go out to the end of the earth.... To those oversaturated with transatlantic traditions, we recommend a course of ‘Little Prudy.’”
