This beautifully-illustrated children's picture book highlights the life of children in New York City at the start of the 20th century. Carolyn Wells has written short, descriptive rhymes of such events as Thanksgiving, a baseball game in Harlem, girls vying for the title of May-day Queen, April Fools' Day, and a snowball fight. Each page in the book stands alone, and children are sure to want to read and have read to them their favorites over and over.

This edition of the book contains 33 original, color illustrations, carefully rejuvenated.

Carolyn Wells (June 18, 1862 – March 26, 1942) was an American writer and poet. Born in Rahway, New Jersey, she was the daughter of William E. and Anna Wells. She died at the Flower-Fifth Avenue Hospital in New York City in 1942.

Wells had been married to Hadwin Houghton, the heir of the Houghton-Mifflin publishing empire founded by Bernard Houghton. Wells also had an impressive collection of volumes of poetry by others. She bequeathed her collection of Walt Whitman poetry, said to be one of the most important of its kind for its completeness and rarity, to the Library of Congress.

After finishing school she worked as a librarian for the Rahway Library Association. Her first book, At the Sign of the Sphinx (1896), was a collection of charades. Her next publications were The Jingle Book and The Story of Betty (1899), followed by a book of verse entitled Idle Idyls (1900). After 1900, Wells wrote numerous novels and collections of poetry.

Carolyn Wells wrote a total of more than 170 books.
