A delightfully humorous story of a little Quaker girl with seven names, and how she gave two of them away. This irresistible young heroine did not enjoy her first day of school when the teacher asked each pupil to stand and give her full name, but she had enough Quaker spunk to overcome her difficulties without offending any of her loving relatives.
Children even younger than those now devoted to Miss Hunt's earlier books will enjoy the lively humor of this story. It is full of laughter and real fun.
Mabel Leigh Hunt has a genuine gift for story-telling that has won her books a sure place in American children's literature.
Grace Paull is an outstanding children's illustrator and her drawings for Little Girl with Seven Names perfectly catch the spirit of the story.

The Little Girl with Seven Names
Reviewed by Sherry Early
This beginning chapter book of only sixty-four pages is just the right length for beginning readers who are working their way up into books with more text than pictures. Melissa Louisa is about six or seven years old in the stories, and she acts like a six or seven year old. The ensuing misunderstandings and adventures are tame enough but also surprising and delight-filled for young readers.
