It would be hard to find the character- 

 istics of animals portrayed more vividly or 

 more sympathetically. Mr. Thompson's 

 unconventional pictures strikingly reinforce 

 the text, and increase the attractiveness of 

 a very originally made and handsomely 

 printed volume. 



" He describes them entertainingly, and the interesting stories of his 

 pen are enhanced by excellent illustrations, full of spirit, and faithful to 

 life." — New York Sun. 



" Mr. Thompson's book sets a new mark in natural history studies. . . . 

 He has Kipling's gift of making you know and sympathize with wild 

 animals." — Buffalo Express. 



" The originality and freshness of these stories is irresistible. . . . 

 In everything he does Mr. Thompson has a way peculiarly his own. . . . 

 Even if naked and unadorned, the facts he states would be very interest- 

 ing ; but when we have the facts and the factors fairly dancing before us, 

 clothed in all the quaint quips and droll persiflage of an accomplished 

 humorist and born story-teller, they are — as I have said — irresistible." — Mr. 

 William T. Hornaday, Director N. Y. Zoological Park, in Recreation for 

 December.
