While \"interviewing\" Slaty the Junco, Redwing the Blackbird, Melody the Wood Thrush, Spooky the Screech Owl, and dozens of other common birds, our guides, Peter Rabbit and saucy Jenny Wren -- and, of course, the reader -- learn about their physical appearances, eating and nesting habits, and songs and calls. Over eighty years after its first publication, the book remains noteworthy and valuable for its extraordinarily successful blend of information and entertainment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Burgess, Thornton W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2003-04-23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Juvenile Nonfiction|Animals|Birds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Birds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486428406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780486428406\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51154488623382,"sku":"SP-9780486428406","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9780486428406_spiral.png?v=1774947071","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/the-burgess-bird-book-for-children","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
