"Merry Words for Merry Children" by A. Hoatson is a collection of whimsical poems intended for children, likely written during the late 19th century. The book reflects a playful, imaginative spirit aimed at entertaining young readers through engaging stories and delightful characters. Its primary topic revolves around fun, light-hearted narratives that spark joy and laughter among children. In this collection, Hoatson presents various poems featuring charming adventures and characters, such as Jim, a boy who dreams of being a clown, and the amusing race between frogs, greyhounds, rabbits, and cats. Through Jim's dream, readers witness the humorous trials he faces while trying to entertain five reluctant geese, culminating in a frightful wake-up moment that teaches him a lesson about kindness. In the second poem, a comical race unfolds with anthropomorphic animals engaging in a quirky competition marked by lighthearted mischief and unexpected outcomes. Overall, the book combines humor and moral lessons wrapped in playful verse, making it an enchanting read for children and adults alike.
