By Thornton Burgess is a delightful blend of narrative and study of nature.
Originally published in 1919, Burgess weaves meticulously details the non-fiction account of birds on the dummy of a rabbit named Peter curious. As Peter explores his environment, the historic orchards, lush green forests, lawns and even the banks of the great river and its tributaries, and also pursues his desire to learn more about their feathered friends.Their intrigues ways Peter, so he sets out to find out, interviewing dozens of Jenny Wren and other birds commonly found in the United States.
Peter is the secret of the success story of the book. He is sometimes proud, generally curious and always growing. Peter's personality especially appeals to children, and flutters around his world, encouraging his friends, meeting new birds, and generally enjoy the whole experience. His antics and mannerisms reflect the joy of learning and life.In addition, he is a good model, one who chooses to learn from his mistakes and appreciating those around him, even if they are different from him....
