Sarah Cory Rippey

Sarah Cory Rippey was an American author of children's books whose known work includes The Goody-Naughty Book (1913) and The Sunny-Sulky Book (1915), both published by Rand McNally. These books used a clever back-to-back format to contrast good behavior with misbehavior, making their lessons easy for young readers to grasp.

She was also a contributor to The Complete Home, a practical household guide available through Project Gutenberg, which suggests a wider interest in everyday family and domestic life beyond children's fiction. Modern library and public-domain records preserve her work, but detailed biographical information about her life appears to be limited.

Because so little personal information is readily documented in major public sources, Rippey is remembered today mainly through her books themselves: short, direct, and firmly rooted in the values and teaching style of the early 1900s.
