About This Book

A collection of short, episodic tales set in the Big Green Woods centers on Doctor Rabbit, a clever woodland physician who treats injured neighbors and thwarts Tom Wildcat’s predatory schemes. Each vignette combines gentle humor and mild suspense as animals such as Jack Rabbit, O. Possum, Stubby Woodchuck, and Chatty Red Squirrel experience mishaps, recoveries, near-captures, and surprises. Stories alternate scenes of practical care, cunning plans, and quick escapes, emphasizing community resourcefulness and the playful rivalry between healer and hunter while portraying the habits and personalities of the forest creatures.

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.
