The Burgess Animal Book for Children by Thornton W. Burgess; 1925 HC; 1/2; Good

Description: The Burgess Animal Book for Children by Thornton W. Burgess; 1925 HC; 1/2; Good Condition The book has light soiling to the boards but the picture and titles remain bright and vibrant. The binding is secure but there are sections where you can see the binding threads throughout the book but all pages are secured and present. There is light age yellowing to the pages and page edges but it is not substantial. The illustrations are lovely throughout. The boards have a bit of bow to them giving the book the appearance of a photo album or 3 ring binder (wider at the spine and narrower toward the outer edge). Please see photos for condition questions and all feel free to message me directly. All in all a lovely antique book. About the book: When Jenny Wren learns that Peter Rabbit would like to know more about the four-footed friends who share the Green Meadows and Green Forest with him, she encourages him to speak with Old Mother Nature who is only too happy to help. During their "classroom" chats, she not only teaches Peter about Arctic Hare and Antelope Jack but also tells him about such creatures as Flying Squirrel, Mountain Beaver, Pocket Gopher, Grasshopper Mouse, Silvery Bat, Mule Deer, and Grizzly Bear.Told with all the warmth and whimsy of Burgess's stories, this engaging book acquaints youngsters with many forms of wildlife and the animals' relationships with one another. The charming collection of entertaining tales is sure to transport today's young readers to the same captivating world of nature that delighted generations of children before them.
