The three books in the “Tommy’s Wishing-Stone Adventures” trilogy are a part 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. In the first book, “Tommy and the Wishing Stone,” a sulky, unhappy young boy by the name of Tommy (is that, perhaps, Farmer Brown’s boy?) happens across a sitting-stone that unexpectedly grants his wish to become a meadow-mouse! Seeing the world from the viewpoint of a small woodland creature is quite an education for Tommy. * * * * After experiencing life as a grouse, a mink, and a humble toad in “Tommy and the Wishing Stone,” Tommy goes on more adventures in “Tommy’s Wishes Come True,” and sees life as a rabbit, a squirrel, a raccoon, and finally a wild goose, and the dangers they all face from being hunted. In “Tommy’s Change of Heart” Tommy lives as a fox, a beaver, a muskrat, and finally a bear, and decides he would rather be a friend to the animals than a hunter of them. * * * * 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.” 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 “Tommy’s Wishing-Stone Adventures” includes: “Tommy and the Wishing-Stone,” “Tommy’s Wishes Come True,” and “Tommy’s Change of Heart.” This volume includes all the stories and the original twenty-three illustrations from the first editions published in 1915, 1915, and 1921, respectively. * * * * Check out the other Thornton Burgess books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing at www.
