Abstract
IN this allegory a child is introduced to the beauties of plants, birds, insects, and other forms and aspects of nature. It pleases children to imagine themselves in close communion with inanimate nature, and they have no difficulty in endowing all the objects around them with human attributes. Poetic feelings, and sympathetic interest in plant and animal life, are appealed to by this daintily bound and gracefully illustrated contribution to literature.
