To answer Peter Rabbit's questions about his relatives, Old Mother Nature holds a school for the animals every day at sun-up for a month. Encouraging the animals to notice the differences between them and to offer their observations of animal behavior, Old Mother Nature helps them all gain a greater understanding of the mammals of North America. Starting with the animals close to home, the school moves in ever-widening circles to encompass the animals of the far west and the extreme north, as well. A fine introduction to mammals for students in the primary grades.

This review is from: The Burgess Animal Book for Children (Yesterday's Classics) (Paperback)
This book is amazing!!! Keeps the attention of my 4 year old although it is probably best geared for older kids. Teaches kids (and adults) about all kinds of animals through a fun story book. Would consider it a must have for home school moms. Great way to get kids interested in the the genius phylum and species etc of animals. Also, gives amazing facts that I never knew...I had no clue that there are rabbits that can swim! Looked it up on the internet to verify and see pictures.

This review is from: The Burgess Animal Book for Children (Yesterday's Classics) (Paperback)
The book is fine -- good-sized print is easy to read. Just be aware that in this edition (from Yesterday's Classics), the illustrations are in greyscale. If you're using a field guide while reading, this might not matter to you. I couldn't figure this out while deciding which edition to purchase, so I'm typing this quick review so the next person will know. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great mix of education and fun,
By A Sailor (Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Burgess Animal Book for Children (Kindle Edition)
This is a great mixture of a fun storyline that is filled with educational facts about the wild animals around us.
My 4 yr old has recently become interested in longer chapter books and she is completely engrossed in these stories. The animals all have fun names and conversations with each other but the author sneaks in tons of real factual information.
