Beskrivelse
Book One of the Seaside and Wayside series presents useful knowledge about crabs, wasps, spiders, bees, and shell-fish to beginning readers in language both attractive and comprehensible. With several short chapters devoted to each type of animal, readers learn how to identify them, what they eat, where they live, how they defend themselves, and how the next generation is produced. At intervals, animals are compared and contrasted and review questions posed.
The primary purpose of the four volumes of the Seaside and Wayside nature readers is to teach children to read while teaching them something else of value. They develop thought, enlarge vocabulary, awaken fresh and healthy interests, direct the mind into new paths of study, gratify that curiosity about his surroundings which every child by scores of questions evinces. They create respect for life and love for animals, draw the child near to the heart of nature, absorb his hours of leisure and many of his hours of academic work in the study of nature out of doors, and thereby do much to make him robust in body, sound in mind, cheerful of disposition, and useful in the future.
