Strange, true stories, primarily for children, but certainly for those 

 grown-ups who like to read discriminatingly to their children, finding all 

 the while something of point of view or allusion particularly for them- 

 selves. 



M. V. Slingerland, of Cornell University: " I should have written before but 

 waited to see the result of reading the book to my daughter, age 13. Usually the 

 books I read to her are more for her entertainment than for mine, but I assure 

 you that in readmg 'Insect Stories ' I found as much entertainment as the daugh- 

 ter. We have read similar attempts at story telling regarding insect life, but few 

 of them stick so closely to the exact truth and also succeed in telling the stories in 

 such an entertaining way. His story of the honey bee held us entranced until the 

 verv last word, and yet I realized he was telling only the exact truth." 



Bertha Chapman, of the University of Chicago: "The stories are certainly 

 delightful and already I have made many new friends for the little book. I am 

 sure it will meet with success as it should." 



The Nation: '' The author is among the few scientific writers of distinction 

 who can interest the popular mind. No intelligent youth can fail to read with 

 delight and profit." 



The Guide to Nature (Official Organ of the Agassiz Association): "Professor 

 Kellogg's irresistable charm of handling simply compels a word for word persua! in 

 order not to miss something good. ... so interestingly told, so true to facts 

 and so vivid in description.
