Product description
"The Burgess Bird Book for Children," (**Black and White Edition**) by renowned naturalist and author of children's books on wildlife Thornton W. Burgess, successfully blends information and entertainment. "Peter Rabbit," the main character in "The Burgess Bird Book for Children," goes around to the various habitats discovering different birds. Peter Rabbit wants especially to know where the nest is, and how many young they have. "Jenny Wren," a gossipy Miss Know-it-All, is also a main character. Thornton Burgess characterizes Jenny Wren as a bit "snooty," a fact that will help children remember that good identifier to wrens is their upturned tails.

The intermingling of story and fact, as presented in this classic, is enough to keep children interested while helping them learn much about the birds.
