The Burgess Flower Book by Thornton W Burgess, 1926
The Burgess Flower Book for Children was originally published in 1926 by Thornton Waldo Burgess. Its original purpose was to introduce your ones to the wonders of the plant world through a beautiful narrative story.
In each chapter, you follow Peter Rabit around The Green Forest as he learns to identify wildflowers, plants, and climbing vines. Thornton Burgess was an American Author who many of us remember in "The Green Forest" or by his stories about "Peter Cotton Tail". This is a gentle way to introduce children to the plants and wildflowers that beautify our forests, fields, and gardens.
This book is a wonderful complement to any homeschool flower study units or as a nurturing bedtime story.
