A Child’s Primer of Natural History 

‘A Child’s Primer of Natural History’ is a delightful collection of 24 charming poems about animals. Each poem captures the essence of an animal in a unique and whimsical way, making them perfect for readers of all ages, but especially so for children. All of the titles of the poems are named after an animal, such as ‘An Arctic Hare’, ‘The Chimpanzee’, ‘A Dog’, and ‘The Ant’. Here’s an excerpt from ‘An Arctic Hare’: ‘An Arc-tic Hare we now be-hold / The hair, you will ob-serve, is white / But if you think the Hare is old / You will be ver-y far from right.’
