Wonders of the jungle, book 1, the

Description: My dear, I shall tell you all about the wonders of the jungle. You have seen many animals in the zoo or in a circus?elephants, bears, lions, tigers, leopards, and many others. But the jungle is the place where these animals live before they are brought to the zoo or the circus. In fact, jungle really means a wild place; that is, a place where trees and bushes grow quite wild, so that men never cut down the trees or clear away the bushes. That is the natural home for all sorts of animals. Now I am going to tell you about the wonderful way in which they live there with their families, as we do in our homes; for the Papas and Mammas among the animals are just as fond of their children as ours are. So you must imagine that you are going into the jungle with me, so that I can show you everything. You see, it is just like a game of pretending, that we are going to play. There is actually a place in the jungle where you can see all the animals at once. ......... Contents: I. THE MIDNIGHT POOL II. THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE III. THE ELEPHANT'S BATH IV.
