Burroughs is a wonderful writer and a well knowledged naturalist. This book will leave the reader with a great respect for the little critters of the wilderness and
An excellent nature study book for reading aloud or having students read- elementary and middle grades, too. (Even I learned quite a bit, since this was definitely NOT covered well in my public school education)
Good illustrations.
