“These selections from Sir John Lubbock’s well-known works have been judiciously chosen, and the illustrations are admirable. Altogether, it is the most attractive of countless reading-books that the New Code has called forth.”—Journal of Education.
“It has been admirably condensed from his larger works on insects and wild flowers, and will excite the wonder of young readers by the insight it gives them into the mysteries of nature and science.... There is abundance to charm all classes of students, and to set them thinking.”—Daily Chronicle.
“A more interesting and instructive book we have not read for some time.... The chapters on the colours of animals, and on plants, fruits, and seeds, should be read by every person who has acquired the art of reading.”—Irish Teachers’ Journal.
“It was a happy thought of the Society thus to utilise and popularise some of Sir John Lubbock’s charming studies.”—Literary Churchman.
