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.

OPEN YOUR EYES!

Perhaps you didn’t know it, but the Little People who are so busy making the seed babies lie straight in their beds and driving off Jack Frost when he wants to nip the snowball blossoms love to talk to all children. But many children—would you believe it?—shut their ears and eyes and never hear them or even see them. Loraine was different, and they told her the most delightful things. Maybe it will help you to see and hear these Little People if you read about them in a book called Loraine and the Little People of Spring. Elizabeth Gordon and Rand McNally & Company made the book, which you may buy in any bookstore for 50 cents.


TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES:

Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.

On page 9, there is a word missing between truly and dinner. The transcriber was unable to ascertain what this word should be, thus the error is retained.
