That sounds like a nice book. Does it have any illustrations?

Yes! They are black and white. Would you like me to add the one for this poem to the post?

Yes, do so!

Here is a rhyming story about the 'Sleep Man'.

Awaiting Aunt Matilda, another story from Aunt Kitty's Storybook.

P.S. I added the picture for When We Had A Picnic to the corresponding blog post.

I enjoyed the story. And what a beautiful illustration!—amazing how the lines of that flow.

Is the story set in present times or past?

My thoughts were present, but it could be both! I kind of visualize it as a Leave It To Beaver or Bunny Brown type neighborhood.

I couldn't help but imagine that the story was set in the 1910s!

I imagined it in the early 1900’s, as well. :)
