This book was originally written in 1911 for elementary school teachers, but today it wonderful for introducing children and adults to the appreciation of to nature as experienced in everyday life. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>'A matchless handbook for decades, this classic has been the natural history bible of countless teachers and others who seek information about their natural environment. Written originally for those elementary school teachers who knew little of common plants and animals, and even less about earth beneath their feel and the skies overhead, this book is for the most part as valid and helpful to day as it was when first written in 1911.
