"A delightful book for children. The birds tell of their habits to a
little inquiring boy, who goes peeping into their nests and watching
their doings, and a very pleasant way they have of talking, sure to
engage the young reader's attention. The designs are pretty, and
nicely cut on wood."--_Spectator._
