A scarce issue of this short-lived publication, which appears to have run for only 10 issues, through September 1875. The text features a compilation of instructional and/or moralistic stories, poems, and advice for children, many seemingly sent in by contributors (rather than copied from published texts by famous authors). Editor Sarah Estelle Hammond, later Greathead, was a teacher in Santa Clara.
