Thornton W. Burgess is best known for his Bedtime Stories, in which he relates a series of whimsical stories told through a group of personified animal characters. In The Burgess Seashore Book for Children, first published in 1929, the author turns his attention to the natural world of the ocean and the coastal seashore. Here, the reader will find characters familiar to Burgess' other stories exploring the curious world of the sea and the interesting and unusual animals that live there. By exploring the variety of natural life in this environment through the personified voices of his animal characters, Burgess creates an inviting narrative for young readers but still stays true to the important scientific facts relating to the ocean's biology and its creatures. Amongst the many animals related in this book are those of the various birds, fish, and crustaceans that inhabit this part of the world. Accompanied by dozens of natural illustrations, The Burgess Seashore Book for Children also pays particular attention to the importance of ecology and protecting the natural world.
