Excerpt from The Kewpie Primer: With Illustrations
Dear and Respected Children:
Miss Quinn has made me so happy by putting my Kewpies into this Primer for you that I am kewpishly smiling as I write these lines. And all the Kewpies are kewping with delight, because, they say, "These darling children will dream of us when they are little and remember us when they are old."
When you have finished this book (if you did not before) you will know all about Kewpies, who are a sort of little round fairy whose one idea is to teach people to be merry and kind at the same time.
The things they are known by are a top-knot, a "tummy," and a smile.
The thing they love best in the world is a kind, laughing child.
