The Burgess Bird Book for Children (Black and White Edition) (Yesterday's Classics) - Burgess Thornton W.

Through the eyes of Peter Rabbit we become acquainted with a variety of birds as they return to Peter's neighborhood in the spring. In the context of the story about each bird, we hear about its nesting habits, its feeding preferences, and its interactions with other wildlife. We meet Jenny Wren, Scrapper the King-bird, Redwing the Blackbird, and dozens more. An engaging introduction to birds for young children, with over thirty illustrations by noted illustrator Louis Agassiz Fuertes.
