Cover dampstained, cocked, front hinge dampstain, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; Worn First Edition, First Printing of this classic juvenile natural history guide. "Its aims may seem rather sweeping and pretentious; but it is offered as an attempt at something much needed and at present not available - a comprehensive and elementary nature guide, designed for a child's mind as well as for a teacher's or a parent's guidance in answering the child's questions. In order to encompass the vast amount of information ordinarily found in the field books on various phases of plant and animal life, rigid seleciton of the material was necessary. It is hoped that all the common birds, butterflies, moths, reptiles, frogs and marine invertebrates that a young explorer will find in northeastern United States are included; as well as the common trees, flowers, ferns, mushrooms and seaweeds of the same area." - Preface.; xviii, 273 pages.
