Flossie and Bossie
by Gallienne, is a charming, skillful story of two bantam hens — one meek and put-upon, the other the cock’s favorite and queen of the barnyard. The only thing they had in common, aside from their enmity, was their determination to become mothers. There is something happening on every page, the book is written with tenderness and humor, and the underlying satire will be a blessed relief to parents reading it aloud. Miss Le Gallienne’s gift for employing vivid contrast is guaranteed to grip even the most laggard attention.
