Burgess Animal Book for Children

Following the success of "e;The Burgess Bird Book for Children"e;, Thornton W. Burgess' fans clamored for more, thus prompting the author to produce "e;The Burgess Animal Book for Children"e;, a work similar to its predecessor. In this work the author instead turns his attention to the four-legged animals that populate the natural landscape of North America. Whimsically told through a conversation between Old Mother Nature and Peter Rabbit, characters that fans of Burgess' work will recognize from his other books, "e;The Burgess Animal Book for Children"e; is a delightful and educationally entertaining work of naturalism, beautifully illustrated by artist Louis Agassiz Fuertes. Originally published in 1920, "e;The Burgess Animal Book for Children"e; is a classic work that will not only enchant readers of all ages but just may inspire the inner naturalist in all who are so lucky to discover it. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
