Among the Farm Yard People by Clara Dillingham Pierson 1899

This book is a part of the "Among" series written by Clara Dillingham Pierson in 1899. Among the Farm Yard People book introduces children to life on the farm from an animal's perspective.

Each chapter encourages imagination and subtly teaches animal habits, signs in nature, the interaction between species and humans. It is a beautiful and engaging story about sheep, chickens, cows, and horses and their lives on the farm written in a narrative style.

This book is sure to enhance any farm nature study curriculum or serve you as a bedtime story companion. I should also mention the gentle moral lessons at the end of each chapter that opens the young reader to personal disgussions.
