at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The cordial reception given the
Burgess Bird Book for Children, together with numerous letters to
the author asking for information on the habits and characteristics
of many of the mammals of America, led to the preparation of this
volume. It is offered merely as an introduction to the four-footed
friends, little and big, which form so important a part of the wild
life of the United States and Canada. There has been no attempt to
describe or classify sub-species. That is for the scientist and
student with specific interests. The purpose of this book is to
acquaint the reader with the larger groups - orders, families, and
divisions of the latter, so that typical representatives may be
recognized and their habits understood. Instead of the word mammal,
the word animal has been used throughout as having a better defined
meaning to the average child. A conscientious effort to avoid
technical terms and descriptions has been made that there may be
nothing to confuse the young mind. Clarity and simplicity have been
the objects kept constantly in view.
