Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Animal Life To undertake the study of natural history successfully, enthusiastic interest is necessary, and to arouse such an interest may be considered one of the possible good offices of the volume. The young student who is confronted day after day with a frog, a crab, or a shell, and requested to note its peculiarities of structure as a first lesson, some times may assume that natural history is, after all, very dry and uninteresting, when, had he even a faint conception of the wonderful ways and habits of the animals, he would eagerly embrace the Opportunity for closer investigation.

It had been intended to include, at least, the whole of the mam malia in this volume; but its limit was unexpectedly reached before the Sketches were concluded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories About Animals The giraffe's only means of defence is in its legs, and it uses its heels for kicking to an extra ordinary extent, more so than any other animal, not excepting the horse. The prominence of the eyes enable it to see behind, when directing its heels against an enemy, while the blow it gives will crush in the skull of a man, or give him some broken ribs. If unmolested, it is one of the most innocent of animals. Though sometimes it meets its death from animals far below itself in size and strength, as the following account will show.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from All About Animals: Facts, Stories and Anecdotes First comes the lion, the king 'of the beasts. The only remaining stronghold of this largest animal of the cat Species is in Central Africa. The time was When it wandered through Persia, Syria, and India, but owing to strong persecution it has almost vanished out of Asia. The lion is an open-country hunter. It is to be found, as a rule, in the long grass and bush-lands, or on the outskirts of the deserts. Its color is a beautiful yellowish-brown, which matches its surroundings so perfectly that it is enabled to steal upon its prey unseen. A favorite trick 01 the lion is to lie in wait upon some rock near a path where deer and antelope pass on their way to drink. Its color here again serves to keep it conceal-cd, for it lies so still that even the timid deer are deceived, and do not see their enemy crouch ing in ambush. As the deer pass by, the lion springs among them and drags a victim down. The lion has earned his regal title from his strength. It is said that a full-grown male will attack and pull down a buffalo. It easily drags the body of the largest horse over the roughest ground. When a lion makes an attack it springs upon its victims neck, and at the same time deals a fearful blow with its paw. Many are the stories told showing this trait, and one of the most inter esting comes from the late Dr. Livingstone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Story Book Children who have read our Fairy Books may have noticed that there are not so very many fairies in the stories after all. The most common eharacters are birds, beasts, and fishes, who talk and act like Christians. The reason of this is that the first peo ple who told the stories were not very clever, or, if they were clever, they had never been taught to read and write, or to distinguish between Vegetable, Ani mal, and Mineral. They took it that all things were 'much of a muchness: they were not proud, and held that beast and bird could talk like themselves, only, of course, in a different language.

Download or read book Nature Stories for Young Readers written by Florence Bass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Stories for Young Readers: Animal Life The subjects of this series of lessons are mainly such insects or other animals as the children may observe for themselves. The lessons aim to give illustrations of some of the varied means of self-protection employed by animals; their methods of home-building and of caring for their young; the transformations they undergo; the adaptability to their surroundings as shown by their coverings and the tools with which the various animals are provided. The purpose in attempting to bring these thoughts to the youngest readers is manifold. It is hoped that such readers may become interested, while children, in the abundant life about them, and that when this interest is gratified by learning of the wonderful lives and habits of these little people, a respect for all life may be inculcated.
