Among the Night People By Clara Dillingham Peirson 1902

This is the fifth book in the Among the People Series by Clara Dillingham Pierson.

Among the Night People introduces children to the animals of the night. Each chapter contains a story about a different night animal including Spanish chickens, a raccoon, skunks, a fox, weasels, fireflies, mice, groundhogs, 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 nocturnal 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. I love the way these illustrations train your eye to see in the night.

At The Living Books Library, you don't just own a book, you own a piece of history.
