About this book

Friends in Feathers and Fur is a popular Victorian children's natural history reader by James Johonnot (1823-1888), the American educator and author of widely used graded school readers in the late nineteenth century. Johonnot worked with the American Book Company on a long series of supplementary readers that introduced young pupils to topics in geography, history, and natural history. Friends in Feathers and Fur gathers short illustrated chapters on common North American birds and mammals, with anecdotes drawn from nature writing and from his own observation. The book belongs to the wider Victorian and Progressive Era tradition of nature study reading that prepared the way for the formal nature-study movement in American elementary schools at the end of the century.
