About this book
Jean-Henri Fabre, the great French observer of insects, wrote for children as readily as for scholars, and this book is a walk through the fields and gardens in the company of a patient naturalist. He looks closely at the animals a farmer meets every day, the toads, birds, beetles, and countless insects, and shows which are friends to the crops and which are pests, and why. Fabre's gift was to make careful observation feel like a story, and here he explains the balance of garden life in plain, clear language a young reader can follow. It reflects his lifelong conviction that nature is best learned by watching it directly. A classic of popular natural history for the young. Free to read in PDF and EPUB.
