The child's curiosity book, embellished with cuts.

This charming children’s book combines short stories, lively verses, and moral lessons with scenes designed to spark curiosity. Young listeners meet a friendly robin, observe the tenderness of a mother in the nursery, and learn why kindness, obedience, and gratitude matter at home and among friends.

The tales introduce memorable children whose choices bring fitting consequences: Sally Sulkey is spoiled by indulgence, greedy schoolmates lose the rewards they hoped to enjoy, and careless play leads to painful accidents. Alongside these warnings are cheerful examples of good conduct, including Tommy Trueby, a fair-minded boy who enjoys wholesome games and gladly helps others learn. With its simple language, playful subjects, and gentle guidance, this collection offers an entertaining glimpse into early childhood lessons about kindness, safety, self-control, and good sense.
