A Child's Primer of Natural History

Oliver Herford's A Child's Primer of Natural History is a delightful introduction to the wonders of the natural world. Through simple, rhyming verse and charming illustrations, Herford introduces young readers to the wonders of the animal kingdom, from the smallest insect to the largest mammal. He also introduces readers to the wonders of the plant kingdom, from the tiniest flower to the tallest tree. Along the way, Herford teaches readers about the importance of conservation and the need to protect our planet's precious resources. A Child's Primer of Natural History is a wonderful way to introduce children to the wonders of the natural world and to instill in them a love and appreciation for the environment.
