Burgess Animal Book for Children, The

When Jenny Wren learns that Peter Rabbit would like to know more about the four-footed friends who share the Green Meadows and Green Forest with him, she encourages him to speak with Old Mother Nature, who is only too happy to help. During the "classroom" chats, she not only teaches Peter about Arctic Hare, Antelope Jack, and his other cousins, but also tells him about such creatures as Flying Squirrel, Mountain Beaver, Pocket Gopher, Grasshopper Mouse, Silvery Bat, Mule Deer, and Grizzly Bear.

Told with all the warmth and whimsy of Burgess' stories, this engaging book acquaints youngsters with many forms of wildlife and the the animals' relationships with one another. Abundantly illustrated, this is a simply written classic by a master storyteller!
