They are now at home almost everywhere. The starling is typical of many other birds, and this book with simple text is a wealth of birdlore. The marvel of streamline design and construction which is a bird's body-a design which has been copied to a great extent in building airplanes-is carefully explained. We follow the starling from nesting time, when the female busily sets the nest to rights, until the young ones are completely independent. As in Pinto's Journey, Turtles and Coyotes, also by Wilfrid Bronson and published by Sunstone Press, the text in this book for young readers is in large, clear type, and there are many illustrations on each page. Wilfrid Swancourt Bronson wrote his first book at the age of eight. Called Animal People, it started like this: This book is for children who are interested in animals and birds. It has verey good pictures in it and children can understand it verey easily. He later learned to spell, and wrote and illustrated over twenty books for children with verey good pictures that they could understand. Young readers everywhere are glad he did.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50095244411153,"sku":"CIN0865346496G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009045070097,"sku":"NIN9780865346499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52140411912465,"sku":"NLS9780865346499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0865346496.jpg?v=1750947452"},{"product_id":"turtles-book-wilfrid-swancourt-bronson-9780865346512","title":"Turtles","description":"What do turtles eat?

He describes the most scientific way to house, feed, and care for either a herd of goats or for a single goat. In addition to practical information on raising goats, Mr. Bronson gives fascinating background material about them and their place in history. The reader discovers, for instance, that traces of some of the early legends and superstitions about goats are still to be found in our language today. From Pan, the half-goat god of the ancient Greeks who had the mischievous habit of startling travelers in lonely places, comes our word panic. Then we learn that in pagan times communities would confess their sins annually to a goat, which was later allowed to escape to the wilderness, supposedly taking the sins with it; hence our word scapegoat. In his simple, inimitable style, known to many readers through such books as Cats, Starlings, Coyotes, The Wonder World of Ants, The Grasshopper Book, Horns and Antlers, The Chisel-Tooth Tribe, and Turtles. Mr. Bronson provides a humorous and informative text, enhanced by detailed drawings on nearly every page. Wilfrid Swancourt Bronson wrote his first book at the age of eight. Called Animal People, it started like this: This book is for children who are interested in animals and birds. It has verey good pictures in it and children can understand it verey easily. He later learned to spell, and wrote and illustrated over twenty books for children with verey good pictures that they could understand. Young readers everywhere are glad he did.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51009080033553,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009083113745,"sku":"NIN9780865347748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433618895121,"sku":"NLS9780865347748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0865347743.jpg?v=1751140052"},{"product_id":"turtles-book-wilfrid-swancourt-bronson-9781632936110","title":"Turtles","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51041443578129,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041447182609,"sku":"NIN9781632936110","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52339695943953,"sku":"NLS9781632936110","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1632936119.jpg?v=1750763100"},{"product_id":"starlings-book-wilfrid-swancourt-bronson-9781632936103","title":"Starlings","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51041465434385,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51041468875025,"sku":"NIN9781632936103","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52400675520785,"sku":"NLS9781632936103","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1632936100.jpg?v=1750927518"},{"product_id":"cats-book-wilfrid-swancourt-bronson-9781632936097","title":"Cats","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51042588197137,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51042591637777,"sku":"NIN9781632936097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52400496869649,"sku":"NLS9781632936097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1632936097.jpg?v=1751151408"},{"product_id":"goats-book-wilfrid-swancourt-bronson-9781632936127","title":"Goats","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52400683352337,"sku":"NLS9781632936127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52778413949201,"sku":"NIN9781632936127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781632936127.jpg?v=1758752394"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-wilfrid-swancourt-bronson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
