Animal secrets told; a book of "whys,":

This book was published in 1911. An excerpt from the Book Review Digest 1911: If people only saw what they looked at, the world would be an even greater mystery than it is. We take things for granted. Yet when we are asked the simple question, 'Why?' we are at a loss for an answer. Why has a cat slit eyes? Why has an elephant long ears? Why has a squirrel a bushy tail? Mr. Brearley answers these queries and many more besides in a quite original vein, separating his book into such ordinary divisions as 'Eyes,' 'Ears,' 'Noses,' 'Mouths,' and so on. Why do we say that a person has an eagle eye, and also why is the eagle's eye made to look down rather than to lookup? Such is the animal secrets disclosed by the author
