Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Birds and Bees: Essays It is seldom that I find a book so far above children that I cannot share its best thought with them. So when I first took up one of John Burroughs´s essays, I at once foresaw many a ramble with my pupils through the enchanted country that is found within its breezy pages. To read John Burroughs is to live in the all their little timid inhabitants; to learn that - "God made all the creatures and gave them our love and our fear, To give sign, we and they are his children, one family here." When I came to use Pepacton in my class of the sixth grade, I soon found, not only that the children read better but that they came rapidly to a better appreciation of the finer bits of literature in their regular readers, while their interest in their new author grew quickly to an enthusiasm. Never was a little brother or sister more real to them than was "Peggy Mel" as she neighbors gossiped about it, or the stately elm that played sly tricks, or the log which proved to be a good bedfellow because it did not grumble. Burroughs´s way of investing beasts, birds, insects, and inanimate things wit human motives is very pleasing to children.
