Remembering how hard it was as a child to find animal books arranged in any order, Phebe Westcott Humphreys wrote one herself in 1900. She works through the animal kingdom group by group, from gorillas and baboons to oxen, musk oxen, birds and fishes, describing each creature’s looks, habits and home.
A Victorian-style picture of the animal world, charming for young naturalists and collectors of old children’s books. Download the free EPUB.
