Welcome to the timeless world of the Green Forest ,
the laughing Brook, and the Smiling Pool. Here we meet a
menagerie of funny and fascinating animal friends: Peter Cottontail, Jimmy
Skunk, Reddy Fox, Grandfather Frog and many more.
In this beloved classic, the first in a series of highly
popular animal tales by Thornton W. Burgess, children discover the answers to
such questions as why Grandfather Frog has no tail and why Jimmy Skunk wears
stripes.
There’s also great fun to be had in reading or hearing about
the grand goings-on at Mink’s swimming party, Little Joe Otter’s slippery
slide, and Reddy Fox’s fishing expedition. These and many other adventures are
told in a warm, whimsical way that combines gentle lessons about nature and
wildlife with the fun of a good story.
Join Faerie Maven-Pralou to hear more from Thorton Burgess’
story.
