Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Story Book There was a stage in human growth when sym pathy for any one Of another tribe was scoffed at, or even considered criminal. But this sympathy came; men learned that justice is wider than the tribal limit, though it was still considered absurd to waste pity on Slaves. In time, even that became first a possible, then an accepted thing. The broadening sympathy which is, after all, the law of love, thus took in all Of mankind, and is following further along the lines drawn by the Great Hindu, who taught that in this broadest sympathy should be included the Whole Irving world.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Stories for Youngest Readers: Animals Tame and Wild I have tried to interest the child in the animal by leading him to observe some things for himself, and also have told him some things that are important for him to know. I have also tried, when it was possible, to correlate number and color. The sentences are simple and short and easily grasped by even the youngest readers. When it is possible, it would be well to have stuffed specimens of the different animals for the children to see, and encourage their going to the menagerie or to the country to see the larger animals for themselves.

Download or read book Stories and Tales written by Emma M. C. Greenleaf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Tales: From the Animal World Nobody likes to be always learning something. Even Solomon was fain to say at the end, "And much study is a weariness to the flesh." Beef and whole-wheat bread are, undoubtedly, muscle-builders, but a delicate pudding, or nuts and raisins, or an ice-cream are very pleasant at the end of a dinner, and without them we feel defrauded of something that is the cherished heritage of civilized man. Perhaps education has no better purpose than to create a hunger for knowledge and an absorbing desire to learn; but do you, my grown-up reader, ever feel in such mood that philosophy and abstruse poetry and logic pall upon your intellectual taste? Do you sometimes feel in such mood that only a fascinating monthly magazine or an absorbing short story is the measure of your receptive powers? Everybody must; everybody does; and children more than any others. Children do grow, sometimes, just a little tired of plumule and radicle, and vertical lines, and Charles and Mary Lamb; while the teacher and the mother, finding that so much time is needed to explain and illustrate, often feel that the child's reading would be far better if he read much more and they explained much less.

The man's wife, who beheld the dreadful scene, took her two children, and threw them at the feet of the enraged animal, saying, Since you have slain my husband, take my life also, as well as that of my children.

This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the First American Animals In the San Juan region of northern New Mexico are rocks containing bones of dinosaurs similar to those of Hell Creek and Lance Creek. On top of them are more rocks, 800 feet thick, filled with bones of marsupials and a few true mammals, but no dinosaurs whatever, and on the top of this second series are still more rocks, minus dinosaurs and marsupials, and containing only the remains of true mammals. An important succession of animal life is thus established. The Age of Reptiles below, the Age of Mammals above, with marsupials yielding their place to true mammals in the topmost of the three deposits. It is from such records that we learn much concerning the progress of ancient animal life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

To those prefaces I would add nothing here; and from the conclusions therein stated I have nothing to retract. I would merely take this occasion to reaffirm with confidence the belief, which I find shared by practically all ob servers whose lives are passed in the closest re lationship with animals, by such vitally inter ested observers, for instance, as keepers, trainers, hunters, and trappers, that the actions of animals are governed not only by instinct, but also, in varying degree, by processes essentially.
