Description
"Donald Peattie, a great naturalist and a noted artist, Rudolf Freund, have joined forces to present this volume. They take the reader on a trip where he is allowed to discover for himself all the wonders of the ponds, meadows, fields and woods. The book is intended not only for the child who already loves the out-of-doors, but for the city child as well."Tags

The stilted prose is a bit out-dated and not terribly suited for kids. The book touches dozens of diverse nature topics and also has beautiful illustrations by Freund, a contributor to 'the World We Live In' . I read this in order to thin the piles of books around the house, but I just can't bear to discard it.
