About This Book
A collection of twilight tales follows a community of small woodland and farm animals and the boy who befriends a jay, recounting mishaps and rescues around a barn, henhouse, and pond. Episodes chronicle a jay with an injured wing taken into a kitchen, a raccoon and other creatures outwitting predators and thieves, a muskrat’s barnside exploits, and a weasel’s string of troubles, blending gentle humor and suspense. Short vignettes range from playful mischief to narrow escapes, highlighting resourcefulness, cooperation, curiosity, and the unexpected bonds formed between wild animals and the human household.
