Author: Elizabeth GordonPictures by: Laurine StoutPublished: 1914One of the classic children's pictures book in early twentieth century from Elizabeth Gorgon."GOD gave us flowers to make our world beautiful, birds to give it music and color, but probably His best and most useful gift is the companionship of the animals.We can all remember some dear friend dog or horse, some pet lamb or rabbit, or maybe a wee white mouse it was; but we loved it, and when we lost it, as we sometimes did, not even Mother, who could heal all our hurts, could make us quite forget.It is right that we should love and care for our pets, but all animals are interesting, and we should learn all about them, because they are a part of the world, and because they are all useful in their own way For you, then, little friends, I have brought together these children of the farm and forest, with the hope that you may find them as amusing as you have found the Flower Children and the Bird Children." Elizabeth Gordon.
