The Burgess Animal Book for Children Thornton Burgess

Presented with all the original illustrations as they appeared in the initial publication.

When Peter Rabbit joins in with Old Mother Nature's "classroom" chats he learns all about the animals who share the Green Meadows and Forest with him. In these lessons Peter learns about animals both big and small, from near and far, like the Hare, but also creatures like the Flying Squirrel, Grizzly Bear, Otter, Fox, Armadillo and many more.

This collection of stories has thrilled generations of readers. Not only a charming introduction to the orders of animals in North America, but also a great study in how they relate to each other.
