EXCERPT FROM THE FORWARD BY BERNICE E. Do you ever look around you and think what a wonderful world we live in? Many people do. In this book you will find stories and poems about land, water and air, clouds and clear skies, sunshine and rain. The ways of wind and weather, green things growing, birds and bees and bugs of every kind. Wild life and life not so wild and all kinds of interesting things in the great out-of-doors.
