Renowned worldwide for stories that teach gentle lessons of conservation and love of wildlife, Thornton W. Burgess has educated generations of young people about nature and the importance of preserving natural resources. In this book, he introduces youngsters to the fascinating subject of bird life, as he tells an appealing story. While "interviewing" saucy Jenny Wren, as well as Redwing the Blackbird, Melody the Wood Thrush, Spooky the Screech Owl, and dozens of other common birds, Peter Rabbit -- and readers -- learn about the birds' physical apperance, behavior, eating and nesting habits, songs, and calls. More than 80 years after its first publication, this book remains valuable for its extraordinarily successful blend of information and entertainment.
