The Book of Animals. By Horace S. Groser. Illustrated by

A. Scott Rankin and others. (Andrew Melrose. 5s.)—In Mr. Grosees Book of Animals we have natural history in a very attractive form. Besides the usual facts as to the size and appearance of the animal described, he tells us all sorts of other interesting and amusing things about them. The pictures, too, are very good, and the book is sure to give pleasure as well as instruction.—Another and smaller book on the same subject, Beasts, Shown by Percy Billinghurst, and Described by Lena Dalkeith (T. C. and E. C. Jack, 2s. 6d. net), will also be very welcome to younger children.
