Description
Introduce children to the fascinating subject of bird life by using story fashion. While "interviewing" Slaty the Junco, Redwing the Blackbird, Melody the Wood Thrush, Spooky the Screech Owl and dozens of other common birds, our guides, Peter Rabbit and saucy Jenny Wren--and, of course, the reader--learn about their subjects' physical appearances, eating and nesting habits, and songs and calls. Over eighty years after its first publication, the book remains noteworthy and valuable for its extraordinarily successful blend of information and entertainment. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1943. 32 black-and-white illustrations.
