The Burgess Animal Book for Children

It follows the same beloved storytelling, but for the mammals rather than the birds, and Kindred Thicket builds it exactly the same way: a clear read-aloud of the revised text, free animal cards and coloring pages, and the paid copywork, applied map work, and object study units, with the complete bundle bringing them together.

Free: the read-aloud videos with the updated text and narration support, and the Bonus Set of animal cards and coloring pages from the Kindred Thicket email list.

Paid: the companion units, copywork in three levels of print and cursive, applied map work where your child draws the animal's range, and a guided object study, plus the accuracy notes that explain every correction. Each unit is available on its own for the whole book, or together with the response and vocabulary sheets in the Complete Bundle.

We took care of it. We wrote the Burgess Animal Book Kindred Thicket Revised Edition, which corrects the outdated science and old animal names of the original, bringing them up to date to what today's naturalists use, and the companion includes plain accuracy notes that explain each change.

The Burgess Animal Book is launching now, mirroring the Burgess Bird Book. Join the email list and we will tell you the moment the readings and the free animal cards are ready.
