Publisher's summary

A beloved storyteller takes young readers - and listeners - to the Green Forest to recount the adventures of Peter Cottontail, Mrs. Quack, Jimmy Skunk, Danny Meadow Mouse, and other woodland friends.

Author and conservationist Thornton Burgess (1874-1965) wrote thousands of stories reflecting his fascination with wildlife and concern for nature, teaching generations of children gentle lessons about ecology and respect for the environment. These stories are exclusive to this edition and are unavailable in any other Burgess collection.

A favorite listen, again and again

Any additional comments?

I was looking for a collection of bedtime stories for the nights when my children are restless, and when I saw the name "Thornton Burgess", I knew I'd found a treasure. We've been listening to this collection for over a year now and the stories have become dear friends. I highly recommend this and all of Burgess' works for children.

The best audible purchase I’ve ever made

My kids love this book. They’ve listened to it all the way through at least a dozen times and they keep asking for it. Ideal age range: 3-8. A really nice, well performed collection. Please more Thornton Burgess at this high standard. His stories are so wonderful!

Fun Stories to Share with Kids

i chose to listen to this story because my kids regularly listen to it at bedtime, and talk about it, and I had no idea what they were taking about.

now i have finished listening to it, I love it!
and look forward to joining in thier discussion about the bedtime stories.
