Transcriber's Notes:

Some illustrations were repositioned to avoid breaking up sentences.

Page 1: where-ever changed to wherever for consistency. (to admire wherever we stroll)

Page 10: ear-bones changed to earbones for consistency. (a mole's earbones)

Page 15: fore-arms changed to forearms for consistency. (his forearms are something)

Page 30: added closing quotes. (Try, try, try again.")

Page 78: water crow-foot changed to water-crowfoot for consistency. (spawning amongst that water-crowfoot,)
