"A Child's Primer of Natural History" by Oliver Herford is an entertaining and informative book designed for kids from long ago. Through funny poems and pictures made by the author, kids from the 1800's could learn about different kinds of animals and their special habits. Each animal, like the tall giraffe and the strange platypus, gets its own silly verse, teaching kids about nature in a fun way, making the animals seem almost like people. The book also sneaks in little lessons about being curious, learning new things, and seeing the worth in all creatures. It’s a fun read that mixes learning about animals with playful poetry.
