Description

The book presents two contrasting sets of stories centered on children exhibiting different types of behaviour, exploring moral development through narrative. The first section, "The Goody Side," features children known for their politeness, kindness, and good deeds, while the second, "The Naughty Side," depicts children engaging in mischievous acts and the lessons they learn from their actions. The characters, including Honor Bright, Rose-Red, and Sammy Sleepyhead, serve as examples for young readers to consider the consequences of their choices. The stories are illustrated and intended for children and young adults, reflecting early 20th-century perspectives on moral education and behaviour.

Published in 1913 with a 1927 edition, the book utilises short narrative formats to convey its moral messages. It is part of a broader tradition of children’s literature aimed at guiding behaviour through storytelling, with an emphasis on expressing virtues and faults in relatable characters within a moral framework.

"Will you remember to feed them every day, son, if I get you a pair?" asked his father. "Yes, papa," said the little boy. "Honor bright!" When he promised "Honor bright," he always kept his word. And he said "Honor bright" so many times a day that finally Honor Bright became his name. "Quack, quack!" cried Mr. and Mrs. Goose the day Honor Bright's father brought them home. "What a fine place!" "Isn't it!" said Mother Hen. "And just wait till you know Honor Bright!" "Just wait!" echoed the Rabbit Gray family, and Mr. T. Cat. Honor Bright was as good as his word, and the geese grew fatter, and fatter, and fatter. "Good morning, Mr. T. Cat," cried Mr. and Mrs. Goose early one morning. "Had your breakfast?" "Of course," answered Mr. T. Cat; "Honor Bright always feeds me the very first thing." "You must be mistaken!" cried Mr. and Mrs, Goose. "Honor Bright always feeds us first." "But Honor Bright gives my children their breakfast very early!" cackled Mother Hen. "Well," squeaked Father Rabbit Gray, "we've all had breakfast; and that's the main thing. Now, let's make Honor Bright president, because he's so good. That's the way people do, you know." Just then Honor Bright came out. "Hail, President Honor Bright!" they all cried.
