The Burgess Bird Book for Children

In this book, Thorton W. Burgess 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 appearance, behavior, eating and nesting habits, songs, and calls.
