(Thornton Waldo) 1874 1965 Burgess, Thornton Waldo The Burgess Animal Book for Children Produced by Eve Sobol and David Widger "The Burgess Animal Book for Children" by Thornton W. Burgess is a collection of educational stories written in the early 20th century. The book aims to introduce young readers to the diverse mammals of North America through the adventures of Peter Rabbit and other animal characters as they learn about their world and the importance of wildlife conservation. The opening of the book introduces readers to the character Peter Rabbit, who is startled by Reddy Fox but finds refuge in a hole. After sharing his close call with Jenny Wren, Peter learns that he may have more animal relatives than he initially thought—particularly a water-loving cousin, the Marsh Rabbit. This conversation prompts Peter's curiosity, leading him to seek knowledge from Old Mother Nature, who agrees to teach him about the various members of his family and their relationships with the natural world. Through their interactions, young readers are encouraged to appreciate the complexities of wildlife and their roles within the ecosystem.
