Beschreibung

Caught between certain death at the paws of Shadow the Weasel and the claws of Redtail the Hawk, Chatterer the Red Squirrel finds himself on the run from his home and his stores of nuts and seeds just as winter is coming on. But Chatterer's unruly tongue gets him into all sorts of trouble with the animals who might have sheltered him from the cold. Can he learn to be a better friend and find a place to stay before the first snow? One of the most popular writers for children in the English language, American author and naturalist THORNTON WALDO BURGESS (1874-1965) produced more than 170 books and 15,000 stories featuring a bevy of animal characters that continue to charm children and adults alike while also teaching gentle lessons about wildlife conservation. This delightful 1915 volume is part of Burgess's "Bedtime Story-Books" series about the adventures of Buster Bear, Paddy the Beaver, and other enchanting creatures. Includes charming illustrations by Harrison Cady. ALSO FROM COSIMO: Burgess's The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat and The Adventures of Bobby Coon
