In spite of the weak kneed color and the inferior paper, these two Golden Story Books are outstanding in content and in the case of THE CAT WHO WENT TO SEA, well-designed and wittily illustrated. Sly ""whoppers"" with a touch of nonsense, the collection of four cat stories and one rhyme has a freshness of language and wackiness of situation that is sure to delight. THE MERRY PIPER is an excellent collection of familiar verse ranging from Carroll, Stevenson and Bosetti to Margaret Wise Brown, de la Mare and Sandburg.
