Notes: Child's paper book. 11 1/2" h x 8 1/2" w, titled in German - Eleven pages with pictures of animals with comments in German and some illustrations in color. Book belonged to Willie Kurth. The Kurth family had German heritage which was common for many who came to Ripon in the second half of the 19th century, so many bi-lingual. Book covers are worn at corners, all soiled but text intact. Not dated but Willie was born in 1870 so probably dates to 1870's.
