Burgess' Bedtime Story-books Books

Originally published in 1915, “The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel” is part of the rich heritage of children’s nature books left to us by Thornton W. Burgess in his long running - and much beloved - series of children’s nature books about the Green Meadow and the Green Forest. Children will love hearing, and reading, about Chatterer the Red Squirrel and his adventures in the Green Meadows and Green Forest as he desperately uses Redtail the Hawk, one of his other dealiest foes, to escape being dinner for Shadow the Weasel. Then he decides to move to the Green Meadows to escape Shadow, and discovers Farmer Brown’s corn-crib is a wonderful place for corn dinners! But Farmer Brown’s boy catches him! Will he escape or will he become Black Pussy’s next meal? Young readers travel to the timeless world of the Green Forest and Smiling Pool. Gentle lessons about nature, the environment, and the “lesser folk of fur and feathers” for today’s young readers and listeners. Any imaginative child will be captivated by this book. The chapters are short, with simple language that children will identify with, and is printed in easy-to-read 14-point type. Read aloud to pre-readers, or read by children themselves, this book will surely be a family favorite in no time. This edition includes the original six Harrison Cady illustrations. “The Adventures of Chatterer the Red Squirrel” is the ninth book in his Bed-Time Storybook series, and is also included with “The Adventures of Buster Bear,” “The Adventures of Sammy Jay,” and “The Adventures of Old Mr. Toad” in Flying Chipmunk Publishing’s “Thornton Burgess’s Bed-Time Storybooks, Volume 3” (ISBN 978-1-60459-977-0).
