•Revised edition: This edition of Parables from Nature has updated some of words from the text such as hath, whither, cock, gay, and additional words and replaced these often confusing words with modern equivalents, such as has, where, rooster, happy, etc. to facilitate ease of reading and understandability. Because word definitions change with time, changing outdated words in the text adds value to the book by keeping the meaning of the words intact, while changing the actual words.•All four parts of this series are included in this Kindle book.What can we learn about God and life from nature? In this classic book, Margaret Gatty uses lessons from nature to teach timeless principles about things such as faith, leadership, and eternity. Each chapter contains its own independent story. In one story, when a caterpillar is asked to take care of the eggs of a dying butterfly, the caterpillar feels unfit for the task because of the magnificence of the grand butterfly. A lark tells the caterpillar that she must have faith. When the eggs of the butterfly hatch, and the shocked caterpillar realizes that the butterfly’s eggs are caterpillars like she is, she learns the lesson of faith—that she must believe something will happen even though she hasn’t seen it yet. When the time of metamorphosis comes for the caterpillar, and none of her relatives believe that she will become a butterfly, she says with confidence and joy—“I shall be a Butterfly some day!” THE TABLE OF CONTENTS IS NOW FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND CLICKABLE.

We are enjoying the stories from this book, but this Kindle edition does NOT have a clickable, active table of contents, which makes it extremely difficult to get to the individual stories. Even worse, the stories don't advance by chapter the way most Kindle books do. So if you don't know the location number you are looking for, you have to shuffle through each page until you find it. Frustrating, especially for my 8 year old, who is reading this as part of her homeschool studies.I gave two stars because the stories are great and timeless, but the formatting of this Kindle edition is awful.
I read it to my boys (6 and 4) and they love it. I thought this would be too hard for them to understand, but I underestimated them. They may not know all the words being used but they understand the essence. Great stories to help kids understand true principles that are true in nature and can be applied to situations in normal every day life. I love it.
Loved this book - suitable 10 approx kids through to adults.Read this 10 years ago. Wish they would do a re issue of them.There is a sequel I think called Piper at the gate. Also excellent.
1) Was expecting all 3 Volumes.2) something I could use and read the whole story, multiple pages are missing.3) Not worth the $23 spent on this book when the originals are out there for the same price. VERY disappointed!!
