GiftSleuth is a forum where book lovers can help each other find perfect gifts for everyone on their lists. It's easy to use:

1. Post your gift dilemma. (You will need a nickname.) For example:

"I am searching for the perfect book for my mother. She was born in 1940 and loves cooking, crafts, and home decorating"

"I need to find a gift for a co-worker; I've seen him reading Orwell and Asimov in the lunch room so he must like Sci-Fi!"

The more information you can provide about the receiver, the better suggestions you will get.

*TIP: Be sure to make your topic heading descriptive: include the receiver, your budget, and any other relevant details. (E.g. "Need gift for Mother, enjoys cooking, budget ~ $100.")

2. Come back often to see the suggestions! (You can also "Subscribe" to a topic - view the FAQ section (at right) to learn more.)

Have you ever come across a book with a poem in it that starts "little miss, little miss, what are you at? Mind your own business, you prim little cat"

It is about not a very big book with (I think) a dark brown? cover with possibly a picture on the front.

I think it is pre 1910, possibly mid to late 1800's. Trying to locate from my childhood. There is also a poem about 2 sisters who go skating on the ice but that's all that I can remember.

Can Anyone Help
