Description
Engaging, sweet, and oh, so… informative! This timeless classic will capture your child's imagination with charming animal characters, who bring nature up close and personal. Scientific details about dozens of North American animals are cleverly woven into a story that's as relevant today as when originally published in 1910. Throughout each page of this book, science lessons abound! Realistic black and white illustrations are scattered throughout, and large print pages (16 pt.) make reading easy on the eyes. Adding a colorful field guide for reference would enhance learning even more! I love the Peterson Field Guide Color-in-Book: Mammals! (#033674), with helpful descriptions and 160 beautifully detailed animal stickers as a visual reference for coloring or painting the animal drawings accurately. This Yesterday's Classics edition is a reprint of the original and includes the original artwork. 365 pgs. pb. ~Nancie
Publisher's Description of Burgess Animal Book for Children
To answer Peter Rabbit's questions about his relatives, Old Mother Nature holds a school for the animals every day at sun-up for a month. Encouraging the animals to notice the differences between them and to offer their observa-tions of animal behavior, Old Mother Nature helps them all gain a greater understanding of the mammals of North America. Starting with the animals close to home, the school moves in ever-widening circles to encompass the animals of the far west and the extreme north, as well. A fine introduction to mammals for students in the primary grades
