Count up the sunny days : a story for girls/Internet Archives

Appears to be appropriate for ages 9-12. The writing style is not as meandering as many Victorian books. This book looks like a pleasant read for young people. I only skimmed through the first five pages, so I could not give a synopsis of the story.

Devotional Poetry for the Children/Internet Archives

This book was published in 1870 by the Society of Friends(Quakers).
