Mother West Wind's Animal Friends

Thorton Burgess wrote an entire series of Mother West Wind stories close to a hundred years ago. All are about animals and their adventures in Green Forest----Prickly Porky the Porcupine joins a number of others from previous books like Reddy Fox, Peter Rabbit,and Happy Jack Squirrel. Even though this is a continuation of other books, the stories can stand alone. These were the bedtime stories my mother read to me in the 1940's; they are sweet, anthromorpic, and child appropriate. They are written simply enough so that children who have just learned to read may also enjoy them. I have purchased new copies of several to give as gifts to my 90-year-old mother who enjoys reading them to her great grandchildren. The older children also enjoy reading the stories by themselves.

This is a golden oldie in children's literature. Wonderful to share with children, grandchildren, nieces & nephews.

I love this book! I'm amazed no one has reviewed it yet! I've had this book since I was a child in the 70's. It has always remained in my mind, the stories of Mother West Wind's Animal Friends.
