Pretty Verses for All Good Children

THE CROSS GIRL.

Reading edition

Huldah Jones is a very cross and peevish little girl. When she wishes any thing, she always whines or frets at the time she asks for it; and, never speaks in a pleasant manner.

Illustration from Pretty Verses for All Good Children: In Words of One, Two, and Three Syllables

Mrs. Jones washing Huldah's face, so that she could go to school.

I hope none of my young female friends are like Huldah Jones.
