Real Out of Door Stories: Real Stories of Birds, Insects and Animals

These stories by Clara J. Denton, the well known writer for children, are something new and unusual in the way of stories for the little folks. They give us real stories of the real doings of live creatures. A class of reading for children which is altogether too uncommon. They are not fairy stories, nor imaginary deeds of imaginary animals, although often even more wonderful than fairy tales, but they recount actual happenings, and in many cases portray unsuspected capabilities in ordinary every day birds, animals and insects. Give them to the children who are persistently asking for “stories about things which really happened,” and you will not be disappointed in the children’s assimilation of the stories, nor in the wholesome morals which the little ones will unconsciously absorb. Unlike many stories of this character, they are all vouched for by the author, who has ever been an observer of all living creatures, and has never lost an opportunity to record facts which she has seen with her own observing eyes. The book should find a place in every home and school library, where it is certain to meet a warm welcome. There are no dry and uninteresting details in the pages, but everything is told in a bright and attractive manner.
