Burgess Bird Book for Children, The

Renowned worldwide for stories that teach gentle lessons of conservation and love of widlife, Thornton W. Burgess has educated generations of young people about nature and the importances of preserving natural resources. In this book, he introduces youngsters to the fascinating subject of bird life, as he tells an appealing story.

While “interviewing” saucy Jenny Wren, as well as Redwing the Balckbird, Melody the Wood Thrush, Spooky the Screech Owl, and dozens of other commonbirds, Peter Rabbit–and the reader–learns about the birds’ physical appearance, behavior, eating and nesting habits, songs, and calls.
