The Book of Nature Myths<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Florence Holbrook<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>Over fifty short myths about animals, birds, and natural subjects, suitable for the child’s own reading in the second grade. These naive explanations of the phenomena of nature given by early peoples are told in a simple, yet interesting fashion and appeal to the child’s sense of wonder about the same phenomena. Most of the myths are drawn from Native American sources, but a few Greek and Japanese myths are also included. Written as a sequel to The Hiawatha Primer with a gradual increase in both vocabulary and complexity of expression.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
