The Burgess Nature Books

by Thornton Burgess

What if learning about nature felt like stepping into a storybook world? In The Burgess Nature Books, beloved storyteller Thornton Burgess invites children into the Green Meadows and beyond, where animals talk, flowers bloom with personality, and nature itself becomes the teacher.

Follow Peter Rabbit as he joins Old Mother Nature’s “classroom” to discover the mammals of North America in The Burgess Animal Book. Dive into The Burgess Seashore Book to explore the fascinating creatures of tide pools and sandy shores. Wander through meadows and forests in The Burgess Flower Book, where wildflowers share their secrets, and take flight in The Burgess Bird Book, where feathered friends reveal their habits and songs.

Step into Mother Nature’s classroom together—and fall in love with the world outside.
