“The book is one that is apt to please the young naturalist, as
it is not overcrowded with scientific words of such dimensions
as are usually a bugbear to the young student. The information
is given in a pleasant way that is attractive as well as
instructive.”--_Minneapolis Tribune._

“Which one of us, whether afoot, awheel, on horseback, or in
comfortable carriage, has not whiled away the time by glancing
about? How many of us, however, have taken in the details of what
charms us? We see the flowering fields and budding woods, listen
to the notes of birds and frogs, the hum of some big bumblebee,
but how much do we know of what we sense? These questions, these
doubts have occurred to all of us, and it is to answer them that
Mr. Mathews sets forth. It is to his credit that he succeeds
so well. He puts before us in chronological order the flowers,
birds, and beasts we meet on our highway and byway travels, tells
us how to recognize them, what they are really like, and gives us
at once charming drawings in words and lines, for Mr. Mathews is
his own illustrator.”--_Boston Journal._
