In this book of classic stories-the second in a series of one's first written over 100 years ago by the Danish author Carl Ewald-you'll explore how man has treated nature in our modern times. Or sometimes mistreated, can we also say! How are the oceans affected by man's search for food, how man learned to reap the wind, or a mother's faithfulness raising her ducklings in man's presence, and why an ocean eel risks going for a land walk! There are 10 stories in all, and likely Darwin would approve. From these educational yet entertaining stories, children will gain a modern understanding of why nature continues to fascinate us in its amazing mystery and complexity.
