About This Book

A quick, ill-tempered weasel prowls Pleasant Valley, darting into stone walls and crevices as he pursues birds, rodents, and other small neighbors. Short episodic chapters follow his schemes—stalking a robin, taunting a mouse, challenging a rabbit to a race, and raiding a corncrib—punctuated by narrow escapes, clever tricks, and comic mishaps. Neighbors respond with warnings, counterplots, and occasional aid, and the narrative mixes slapstick danger with gentle moral lessons about temper, pride, and consequences while maintaining a light, humorous tone and charming animal personalities.

Transcriber's Note: Three color plates in this e-book were missing/not included in the book from which it was transcribed. These illustrations (Grumpy Weasel and Jimmy Rabbit Run a Race, Grumpy Weasel Visits the Corncrib, and Sandy Chipmunk Runs from Grumpy Weasel) have been taken from the Internet Archive's copy of the book.
The IA version itself lacks two of the illustrations found in this copy: Grumpy Nearly Catches Paddy Muskrat and Grumpy Calls on Mrs. Hen.

The List of Illustrations following the Table of Contents was added by the transcriber.

Some minor corrections were also made. These are underlined with a thin dotted line—hovering your cursor over them will show a transcriber's note explaining the correction.
