Originally published in 1916, "Old Man Coyote" is part of the rich heritage of children's nature books left to us by Thornton W. Burgess. This edition includes the original fourteen illustrations. * * * * Just then it came again, a sound such as neither Peter Rabbit nor Jimmy Skunk had ever heard before. Peter's teeth began to chatter. Never had the Green Meadows or the Green Forest heard anything like it. It sounded something like Hooty the Owl, and Dippy the Loon, and two or three little dogs howling all together, and there was something in the sound that made cold chills run up and down Peter Rabbit's backbone. * * * * Who, or what, made that terrible sound? And why had it come to the Green Meadows and Forest? Was it someone smarter than Granny and Reddy Fox? Or would Granny Fox chase it away? * * * * 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.
