Open in WeRead

About This Book

The narrative follows a cheerful rabbit who cares for sick woodland animals and must venture across the open prairie to treat ailing kin, despite fear of a prowling coyote. With help from a swifter rabbit and a chorus of bird and small-mammal neighbors, the pair endure chases, narrow escapes, and inventive ruses. Episodes emphasize clever problem-solving and collective effort as the animals outwit the predator, capture him, and restore safety to the woods. The tale is presented as short, illustrated episodes focused on camaraderie, resourcefulness, and gentle humor.

WHAT UNCLE OWL WHISPERED

Didn’t you ever wish and wish and wish that you could know what the squirrel is chattering about, and what the cricket is saying when he sings his chirpy little song, and what the big owl really means when he says “Whoo-whoo-oo”? Lucky Peter Patter does know, for all the animals tell him funny things; and the best part of it is that Peter isn’t selfish! He has told all his charming little rimes to Leroy F. Jackson, who has let Rand McNally & Company print them in a beautiful big book, with pictures by Blanche Fisher Wright. You can find it in any bookstore for $1.50. Its name is The Peter Patter Book.
