The four books in the “Green Meadow Collection” are a continuation of Thornton W. Burgess’s long running — and much beloved — series of children’s nature books about the Green Meadow, the Green Forest, and the Smiling Pool. Young readers, and listeners, travel to this timeless world and learn gentle lessons about nature, the environment, and the “lesser folk of fur and feathers.” * * * * Readers learn how Striped Chipmunk plays a trick on Happy Jack, how Shadow the Weasel almost catches Happy Jack for lunch, and the friendship the blossoms between Happy Jack and Farmer Brown’s Boy; about Peter Rabbit and his adventures in the Green Meadow with Old Jed Thumper, Tommy Tit, and Old Man Coyote, including why Peter Rabbit was unhappy and how Little Miss Fuzzytail became Mrs. Peter Rabbit; what happens when Old Man Coyote plays a trick on Bowser and Bowser gets lost, and what Blacky the Crow does to help Bowser; and about Old Granny Fox as she tries to catch Quacker the Duck, gets caught napping by Farmer Brown’s Boy, finds a way to steal Bowser the Hound’s dinner, tries to get into Farmer Brown’s henhouse, and what Reddy Fox does that makes them move to the Old Pasture. * * * * 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. * * * * The “Green Meadow Collection” (ISBN 1-60459-901-4 – Hardcover, 1-60459-902-2 – Paperback), includes ‘Happy Jack,’ ‘Mrs. Peter Rabbit,’ ‘Bowser the Hound,’ & ‘Old Granny Fox.’ This volume includes all the stories and the original sixteen illustrations from the first editions published in 1918, 1919, 1919, and 1920, respectively. * * * * Check out the other Thornton Burgess books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing at www.
