About This Book

A collection of gentle, illustrated vignettes follows chickens, ducks, geese, lambs, colts, swallows, a kitten, a pig, a mouse, bees, a peacock and other farm animals as they face small crises and everyday moments. Each tale translates animal behavior into child-friendly episodes about growing up, learning to share and listen, coping with jealousy or stubbornness, and giving or receiving help. Stories move between playful adventures and quiet scenes of care, often closing with practical moral observations and a steady emphasis on empathy among animals and between animals and humans.

"One of the daintiest and in many ways most attractive of the many books of nature study which the past year has brought forth."—Boston Advertiser.

"They are like Mrs. Gatty's well-known 'Parables from Nature,' written in the best of English, as fascinating as fairy tales, and yet 'really true,' a quality which we all know appeals to the childish mind."—N. Y. Evangelist.

"We have seen nothing better for its purpose, and hope many a teacher of kindergartens and many a mother may avail herself of the privilege of using these little tales."—N.Y. Christian Advocate.

"It will be a great advance in the work of education in the school and the home when such books are more generally utilized."—Zion's Herald.

"These charming stories of field life will delight many a child of kindergarten age; and it is safe to say that older brothers and sisters will also want to claim a share in them."—Christian Register.
