About this book

Thornton Burgess gathered his gentle animal tales into this collection for young readers, set in the Green Meadow and the Smiling Pool where Reddy Fox, Jimmy Skunk, Peter Rabbit, and their neighbors go about their busy lives. Each short chapter follows a small drama of the meadow, a narrow escape, a foolish boast, a lesson in kindness or caution, told in the warm, unhurried voice that made Burgess a favorite of American childhoods for decades. Woven through the fun is his real love of nature and his quiet instruction in the habits of wild creatures. It is an ideal read-aloud book for the very young.
