“AN IDEAL BOOK ON NATURE STUDY.”
CITIZEN BIRD
Scenes from Bird Life in Plain English for Beginners. By Mabel Osgood Wright and Elliott Coues. With One Hundred and Eleven Illustrations by Louis Agassiz Fuertes. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50 net.
This first issue of The Heart of Nature Series—Citizen Bird—is in every way a remarkable book. It is the story of the Bird-People told for the House-People, especially the young House-People, being dedicated “To all Boys and Girls who Love Birds and Wish to Protect Them.”
It is not a mere sympathetic plea for protection. It shows how Citizen Bird “works for his own living as well as ours, pays his rent and taxes, and gives free concerts daily”; is scientifically accurate in description of anatomy, dress, and habits; and is illustrated by over one hundred engravings in half tone, together with descriptive diagrams, and has a valuable index of some one hundred and fifty-four American birds.
It is a question when one becomes too old to enjoy such a delightful and entertaining book.
TOMMY-ANNE
AND
THE THREE HEARTS
By Mabel Osgood Wright. With many Illustrations by Albert D. Blashfield. 12mo, Cloth, Colored Edges, $1.50.
“This book is calculated to interest children in nature, and grown folks, too, will find themselves catching the author’s enthusiasm. As for Tommy-Anne herself, she is bound to make friends wherever she is known. The more of such books as these, the better for the children. One Tommy-Anne is worth a whole shelf of the average juvenile Literature.”—Critic.
