Dooryard Stories

In Dooryard Stories, Clara Dillingham Pierson really captures little imaginations. Her stories are perfect for settling kids down before bed and giving them thoughts of nature to sleep with. Stories in this book talk about birds such as flickers, robins, sparrows, wrens, swifts, and blackbirds--describing the drama that naturally arises in the garden as birds go about the business of building nests and raising young. Pierson\'s cat, named Silvertip, plays a prominent role in some of the stories. Suitable for ages 5 and up.
