"This book can be highly recommended for its honesty and directness of purpose. 

 The essays are truthful and give vivid touches of nature, the results of close and sym- 

 pathetic observation." Dr. D. S.Jordan, in American Naturali$t. 



" It is not only charming, but is also infinitely suggestive. I shall recommend it to 

 teachers and parents as one of the most helpful books upon nature subjects yet pub- 

 lished. The beautiful form in which the book is issued is also to be recommended." 

 Stanley Coulter.
