Description
The Adventures of Bob White is a typical book by Thornton W. Burgess – adventurous, exciting and educative at the same time. Burgess was not only one of the most prominent authors of children’s stories in the first half of the 20th century – he was also a conservationist, always ready to offer advice and guidance to the younger generations about how to protect nature and always trying to combine eventful stories with advice to his readers about what they can do for their immediate natural environment. This book is considered to be one of the best pieces ever written by Burgess and a story that whole generations grew up with since it was first published in 1919.The protagonist of the book, Bob White, is a busy little bird, a bobwhite quail that sets up a new home with his wife, building their new nest on Farmer Brown’s land. The Whites have lots of friends, but they also have enemies and all of these relationships are important in their life. The story is narrated by Mr. Bob White himself, telling young readers about his and his wife’s life in great detail, providing lots of information about the feeding, nesting and breeding habits of quails as well as about their natural allies and enemies.The style of Bob White’s story is perfect for being read to young children, as well as for kids who can already read for themselves. The Smiling Pool and Green Forest where the Whites choose to build their nest are inhabited not only by them, but by numerous other feathered and furry creatures. Therefore, children will learn not only about birds, but also about how to protect other animals they may encounter in the woods, and the learning process is really entertaining thanks to this charming story.
