" This is a small but very admirable book, to be used by the 

 intelligent parent or teacher, directly or indirectly, or to be left 

 accessible to the inquiring mind . . . any properly constituted 

 child will take an interest in the contents of the book. It teaches 

 him that he is an observer and tells him what to look at, and it will 

 prove a most welcome refuge to many a child from the stupidity 

 of the male and the unscientific attitude of the female parent. 

 Here, at least, is some one who knows where the weather comes 

 from and what we may expect in normal seasons, what the ' Times ' 

 map means, and why the dots are so often put in circles on it, and 

 the like points on which ' grown-ups ' evade the eager questioner. 

 The first part deals with earth, air, water, heat, sound, light, colour, 

 and weather ; the second with names, roads, springs, streams, soil, 

 fields, hedgerows, trees and woods, and villages. Any child who 

 can take its knowledge and its story separately will be charmed 

 with the volume." Spectator.
