In The Adventures of Paddy the Beaver, the good-natured titular character, makes a new home in the Green Forest, which causes quite a stir with its residents. Why have the waters at Laughing Brook stopped flowing, and who is stealing Sammy Jay’s trees? Readers will meet other memorable characters, including Jerry Muskrat and Old Man Coyote. A dedicated naturalist, author Thornton W. Burgess imbues his stories with the good humor, imagination, and fun animal antics that all children will love reading during story time.
