Thornton W. Burgess
The Burgess Animal Book for Children
Hardcover
(Little, Brown, and Company March 15, 1922)
A charmingly written introductory-level book for young minds to the four-footed friends, little and big, which form so important a part of the wild life of the United States and Canada. The purpose of the book is to acquaint the reader with the larger groups-orders, families, and divisions of the latter, so that typical representatives may readily be recognized and their habits understood.
