Abstract
THESE interesting stories dealing with subjects of natural history are presented in excellent English. The translator's style is graceful, and the language chosen is of a kind which will appeal to children; while the scientific information is sound as well as instructive. A young reader should learn incidentally a great deal about animal life, and at the same time be given sympathetic interest in it. The little volume is suitable for a reading book in the higher standards of the elementary school and for the lowest forms of a secondary school.
