Among the Forest People

Description

Michigan teacher Clara Dillingham Pierson lived and wrote during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. She authored several volumes of nature and animal tales, suited for children age 5-7.If “Among the farmyard people” contains stories about the animals that live near human establishments, “Among the forest people” introduces children to wildlife: squirrels, owls, snakes etc. Wild animals talk, just like the farm animals from the author’s other popular book, and their conversations definitely draw readers towards them. By reading these stories, children can learn many things about these little beings of the forest (the way they look, their habits, as well as other characteristics), in a simple and very engaging way. “Among the Forest People” is a living book, very well-written and perfectly understandable by children, who will definitely remember it. In all of her books, the author encourages loving and caring for the animals, which is one of the best messages that children can get.”Among the Forest People” contains 20 tales. Readers have the pleasure to meet Mr. Red Squirrel, a new inhabitant of the forest, other red squirrels, Mr. Great Horned Owl, yhe swaggering crow, the woodpecker, the night moth, the bees and the kingbird, the cowbird, Mrs. Mourning Dove, the young blue jay, the rabbit, the little bat, the swarm, the groundhog, the mole, the wild turkeys and many more little dwellers of the forest, each with its story and captivating adventures.The tales end with a moral, simple but very clear, which explains the rights and the wrongs of situations and characters, helping children to remember virtues or life lessons that must be used in the everyday life.The books can still play a big role in imparting life lessons on young readers, and Clara Dillingham Pierson seems to know very well that the lesson must be delivered subtly to be efficient.
