continuation of Thornton W. Burgess's long running - and much
beloved - series of children's nature books about the Green Meadow,
the Green Forest, and the Smiling Pool. Young readers, and
listeners, travel to this timeless world and learn gentle lessons
about nature, the environment, and the "lesser folk of fur and
feathers." * * * * Children will love hearing, and reading, about
what happens when Reddy Fox gets bold and then careless, why Granny
Fox has to take care of him and how the other little forest people
help him out, and why Farmer Brown's boy hunts Reddy Fox. Then they
read about Johnny Chuck and his adventures when he gives away his
home and travels around looking for a new home, why he fights with
the first chuck he meets but not the second, where he decides to
build his new house, and what happens when Sammy Jay discovers his
new house and his new secret Then Peter Rabbit tries to change his
name, Reddy Fox invites him to breakfast, Shadow the Weasel invades
the Briar-patch, and then first Johnny Chuck, then Old Grandfather
Frog, and then even Ol' Mistah Buzzard, say they will see Peter in
the Spring, but it is not yet winter Finally, Unc' Billy Possum
gets caught by Farmer Brown's boy, he gets away, but then gets
trapped in the hen-house, he escapes the hen-house only to get
trapped in a tree, and then Happy Jack the Squirrel helps him get
home safely. * * * * Any imaginative child will be captivated by
this book. The chapters are short, with simple language, and is

favorite in no time. * * * * "Burgess' Bedtime Story-Books, Volume
