This book is from series entitled "Little Gateways to Science" and surely, no hand has more magic in unlatching the little gateways than Edith Patch.
The bird stories are as interesting and even as 'delightful' as the 'Hexapod Stories' that has become dear to so many children of her day.
Edith Patch understood the child's mind and therefore knew the child's interest in the story of 'one' creature rather than in a general description of habits about the species.
Each one of these stories are a thrilling biography of a bird telling its home life, its nestling and birdling days and its experience as a grownup.
Moreover, the birds described are not those usually selected for children. With the exception of the chickadee, the other stories deal with the lives unfamilar to children, of birds which they see but know comparatively little about.
The author followed her own happy plan for naming the stories:
The Chickadee is Chick D. D.
The Five Worlds of Larie give the complete history of the seagull
Peter Piper is the biography of a sand piper
Gavia of Immer Lake tells of the loon
Eve and Petro are a pair of cliff swallows that have exciting experiences
Uncle Sam is the story of a bald eagle, our bird of freedom!
Corbie is a fascinating tale of a tame crow that was reared and was the playmate of a Brown-eyed Boy and a Blue-eyed Girl
Ardea's Soldier is the snowy heron
The Flying Clown is a story of the night hawk that has taken up her abode on the roofs of city houses
The Lost Dove is the story of the passenger pigeon
Little Solomon Otus is the history of a screech owl.
The book closes with the romance and wanderings of Bob, The Vagabond and our beloved Bob-o-Link...
