"True stories that read like fairy tales." Dedicated to Junior Audubon classes and all other boys and girls throughout the land who are friendly to birds. Every child who reads this book will become a bird conservationist. It is written with scientific accuracy and is provided with a bibliography for older children who wish to extend their bird studies. "No hand has more magic in unlatching these little gateways than does that of Edith Patch. These bird stories are as interesting and delightful as the Hexapod Stories which have become dear to so many children. Miss Patch understands the child mind and therefore knows that the child is interested in the story of one creature rather than in any general descriptions of the habits of the species. Each one of these stories is a thrilling biography of a bird telling its home life, its nestling and birdling days and its experience as a grownup. Moreover, the birds described are not those usually selected for children. With the exception of the chickadee the other stories deal with the lives unfamiliar to children, of birds which they see but know comparatively about....No fairy story ever written is more absorbingly interesting to the child than any one of these stories which are true and teach the child many things besides giving him information. Miss Patch is very adroit in her lessons on conservation of bird and plant life, but is none the less effective....The last pages of the volume are given to notes on the stories and references and a very valuable book list on birds...It is a book which should be in the library of every child in America." -The Nature-Study Review, Volume 18, 1922 "The second volume of 'Little Gateways to Science,' is at hand and fully up in quality and absorbing interest for young people to Miss Patch's Hexapod Stories. This is just the book for Junior Audubon societies and for use by nature teachers in our schools." -The Maine Naturalist: Journal of the Knox Academy of Arts ..., Volume 1, Issue 2, 1921 "Combines definite scientific knowledge with charming narrative. The stories are told very simply for the very young and open up the beginnings of scientific knowledge in entertaining fashion....Particularly valuable to teachers of the junior grades." -The Bulletin of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, Volumes 1-5, February, 1917 "The twelve stories treat of the life histories of the Chickadee Herring Gull, Spotted Sandpiper, Loon Cliff Swallow Bald Eagle, Crow, Snowy Heron, Nighthawk, Passenger Pigeon, Screech Owl and Bobolink. The birds are given distinctive names, and each becomes as it were, the hero of his particular story, developing a personality that cannot fail to hold the attention of the child...An astonishing amount of sold information without detracting from the interest of the story. We cannot have too much attention directed to the conservation of nature if we are to have any remnant of our wild country and wild life for future generations, and such books as this, which aim to instill the principles of conservation in the young children, are especially welcome." -The Auk, A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology, 1921… (mer)
