A pamphlet of children's stories involving anthropomorphic insects complete with a moral at the end.  Nice illustrations but I can find almost nothing about the book except that a copy is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum who says it's hand-colored.  Their copy was published in London so there were two editions.
