The Story Book of Birds and Beasts
December 8th, 2007In this collection of nature stories, master storyteller Jean Henri- Fabre relies upon his knowledge of nature and animals to tell us all we could ever wish to know about many different birds and animals - chickens, turkey, guinea fowl, ducks, geese, pigeons, jackals, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, oxen, pig, horses, donkeys, and much more. As with all of Fabre’s books, this volume is interesting enough to hold the interest of preschoolers, while being detailed enough in its descriptions to teach even high schoolers and adults many new things.
