Book Overview
There's a big mystery brewing among the animals of the Green Forest -- and it's all because of a strange little creature with no head, legs, or tail that came rolling down a hill and gave Peter Cottontail the fright of his life. What could it be? Young readers and listeners will love finding out about this and other interesting goings-on in the Forest as they learn how Prickly Porky made friends, what made Old Granny Fox lose her dignity, why Old Man Coyote lost his appetite, and more. Written by master storyteller Thornton W. Burgess, this classic combines all the fun of a good story with gentle lessons about wildlife, the environment, and human virtues. It is reset here in large, easy-to-read type, enhanced by six full-page Harrison Cady illustrations that perfectly capture the mood of this charming tale.

An entertaining and fun story for everyone
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Originally published in 1916, this story by Thornton W. Burgess is an example of old-fashioned storytelling that teaches good, solid morals and values. It is simply fun to read about the residents of the Green Forest, their lives and their interaction with their newest neighbor, Prickly Porky the Porcupine. In this particular adventure, there is a new creature that is frightening the forest's inhabitants. Prickly Porky hasn't seen it and one by one, his neigbors begin to investigate the strange sighting of the creature that appears at the bottom of Prickly's hill. This is the kind of story that is ideal to read to kids over a few nights in bed or over hot chocolate.
