The Burgess Flower Book for Children
by Thornton W. Burgess Author
(From Amazon): This is a new release of the original 1923 edition. Originally published by Little, Brown, and Company of Boston with color plates of each flower. "It is intended solely as an introduction for the youngest readers to the fascinating flower world. It makes no pretense to being a botany, or even a general hand book on flowers. Its purpose is to awaken and stimulate an interest in our wild flowers which may lead to a desire to know more about them and to seek such information in the many excellent books now available." -from the author's introduction
