The Adventures of Jimmy Skunk

These series of books by Thornton Burgess were written about 100 years ago. They are delightful stories for young readers to expose them to the lives of animals. Very fanciful and not serious, they perk the interest of young readers that animals have social lives, have adventures and perils, and allow the young reader a feeling of intimacy with animals. My 9 year old daughter truly loves these books. We've found a big adventure together trying to collect most of the books. There are more than 20 of them, many long out of print. I believe this is better reading than the current popular books which are for teenage readers. Try reading these books to your 5 year old, a priceless time together for father and daughter. When she became 8 she began reading them for herself. No finer children's books for young readers.

My 6 years old told me it was one of the greatest book he ever read!!

Hello. I've got to say I've read a bit more than 1,000 books. Out of every one of these, This particular one is one of the best. I read books written by Thorton W. Burgess from my tiny school library back in 2nd grade. Sure, it's been 2 years. Who cares!!! I'll never forget how much I enjoyed laying down every night with a book from this great author. My favorite was the part when Jimmy Skunk finally sprayed Reddy Fox and gave him a taste of his own medicine. Here's a bit of advice: Keep this collection in mind!
