Mother West Wind's Children

"Mother West Wind's Children" continues the adventures begun in the book "Old Mother West Wind." This time we learn why Danny Meadow Mouse has a short tail, why Reddy Fox has no friends, why Peter Rabbit has long ears, why Striped Chipmunk has pockets in his mouth, and what Mr. Toad does with his old suits, and ten other stories that will delight both children and adults. * * * * 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. * * * * Originally published in 1911, "Mother West Wind's Children" was Thornton W. Burgess's second book in his long running -- and much beloved -- series of children's nature books about the Green Meadow and the Green Forest. This edition includes the original four illustrations. * * * * Check out the other Thornton Burgess books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing!
