A Children's Book of American Birds

by Muriel Singer
(Ghost writer: Reginald Jeeves)


Excerpt 1:
Should any of you children be lucky enough to visit California, you may catch a glimpse of the acrobatic little Mexican Chickadee. You will learn much more about this rascal when you are grown-up and read Mr Alexander Worple's wonderful book, American Birds.


Excerpt 2:

Often on a spring morning, as you walk through the fields, you will hear the sweet,

carelessly-flowing song of the Eastern Bluebird. When you are older, you must read

all about him in Mr Alexander Worple’s wonderful book, American Birds.

Excerpt 3:
As Mr Alexander Worple says in his famous book, More American Birds, if you see a Sanderling spinning round in the water like a top, it's a Phalarope. You see, children, Phalaropes do look very like Sanderlings of course but they're famous for spinning round and round in the water. This is a picture of the Northern Phalarope. Isn't he a handsome little fellow?
