Nice introduction to animals.,

This review is from: The Burgess Animal Book for Children (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)
The Burgess Animal Book is a well written book. It is written in the same style as The Burgess Bird Book. Facts about animals are written as animals have conversations. In this book "Mother Nature" is introduced and is the primary instructor. The book introduces concepts as "order" and discusses why animals have certain features. My kids from 3 to 7 enjoy listening to the stories. The only drawback to this particular book is the black and white photos of the original watercolor pictures. It was a bigger problem with the Burgess Bird book, however because birds are mainly identified by their colors.

I use Ambleside Online and we are using this book for my son's homeschool year. We both love this book and look forward to reading it every week. We laugh at the sweet and silly animal characters, and we are learning so much. This is a fantastic book for nature study!
