There is something strange is going on in the Green Forest! First Peter Rabbit sees a scary creature with no legs, head, or tail, rolling straight at him! And then the scary creature chases Reddy Fox, Granny Fox, and even Old Man Coyote. Just what is going on and who is this strange creature with no legs, tail, or head? * * * * And in the second book Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Skunk hear a sound such as neither had ever heard before. Peter’s teeth began to chatter. Who, or what, made that terrible sound? And why had it come to the Green Meadows and Forest? Would Granny Fox be able to chase them away? * * * * Then, Paddy the Beaver causes quite a bit of curiosity among the little folk of the Green Forest when he decides to build a dam. What he is building looks nothing like the smooth, grassy dam Farmer Brown built. Will it even work? Then he started building a house, only he doesn’t leave any room at all in it for a bedroom. Could Paddy the Beaver really not know how to build a house? * * * * Alas, poor Mrs. Quack! What with hunters with terrible, terrible guns at every pond and river as she flies north to her nesting grounds, the poor dear is a nervous wreck. And after the last hunter surprised her flock, she can’t find Mr. Quack or her twelve little children anywhere! Peter Rabbit and his friends start a search for Mr. Quack. Will they find him? * * * * The four books in “Burgess’ Bedtime Story-Books, Volume 4” are a continuation of Thornton W.
