The Burgess Animal Book for Children by Thornton W. Burgess, with illustrations by Louis Agassiz Fuertes. "Among the most admirable and entertaining writers of animal stories, Thornton W. Burgess ranks at the top of the list. He combines a sympathetic love for the little woodfolk with an accuracy as to details worthy of a professional naturalist. 'The Burgess Animal Book for Children' will be a delight to a host of eager-eyed readers." - Dr. E. W. Nelson, Chief, Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture. 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. This companion volume to "The Burgess Bird Book for Children" is written in the same vein, a story book which is at the same time an authoritative handbook on the land animals of America, describing them and their habits that they will be instantly recognized when seen.
