Dooryard Stories
Clara Dillingham Pierson and F. C. Gordon
The fight for the bird-house is the biggest news in the yard all spring. Clara Pierson's dooryard stories introduce plucky Mrs. Polistes the wasp, the industrious flickers, very rude young robins and a systematic yellow-billed cuckoo, each with business of its own. Backyard nature turned into neighborhood gossip. Eavesdrop from the porch step. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
