Among the Forest People by Clara Dillingham Pierson 1898

Among the Forest People introduces children to the animals of the woodlands. Each chapter contains a story about a different woodland animal including red squirrels, great horned owls, rattlesnakes, bats and many more.

The stories discuss the animal's habits and movements. Since we can't understand animal language, the author depicts the animals talking to each other in English, but she does it so skillfully that you can imagine that they are using their own ways of communicating through voice and gesture.

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

This ebook is a digitally remastered copy from the first edition of the publication. It has been preserved in its original typeface with original black and illustrations for your enjoyment.
