The cordial reception given to the Burgess Bird Book for Children, together with numerous letters to the author asking for information on the habits and characteristics of many of the mammals of America, led to the preparation of this volume.
It is offered merely as an introduction to the four-footed friends, little and big, which form so important a part of the wildlife of the United States and Canada. There has been no attempt to describe or classify sub-species. That is for the scientist and student with specific interests.
The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader with the larger groups — orders, families, and divisions of the latter so that typical representatives may readily be recognized and their habits understood.
