The Bedtime Book that Begs to be Read Aloud
Old Mother West Wind Tales is an utterly delightful updated version of the century-old classic by Thornton W. Burgess, rewritten in a poetically lyrical and easier-to-read-aloud modern style.
Children delight in the mischievous antics of the animals and birds of the Grassy Green Meadow, the Pollywig Pool, and the Windily Wood. All the old favorites--Johnny Chuck, fly-gobbling Grandfather Frog, Jimmy Skunk, and sly Reddy Fox—are joined in their adventures by new characters such as Billy Brock, little Zoëy Otter, and her brother Otty, Sneezle the Weasel, and Toby Cockles the Terrapin.
Fun facts about the real-life habits of the animals portrayed in the stories are found after each chapter, offering educational information on wildlife.
These gentle rhyming bedtime tales from a timeless world tend to charm adults as well as children.

· How the Merry Little Breezes Saved Mrs. Redwing's Eggs · Why Grandfather Frog has no tail · Why Jimmy Skunk wears stripes · How Pee-Tee the Prankster Rabbit got his Comeuppance. · How Reddy Fox had a Terrible Fright · How Little Zoëy Otter Saved Grandfather Frog · Who Found the Best Thing in the World · And many more delightful tales
These wholesome stories encourage friendship, kindness, heroism, justice, and above all, a love of nature and respect for creatures of the wild. They also cover vanity, pride, wilfulness, mischievous pranks (and their consequences), bullying, boasting, and karmic comeback. The tales also have gentle moral pointers that show the consequences of specific actions, like, "Whatever you do, will come back on you."
The book will appeal l to lovers of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, the Brambly Hedge books, and The Wind in the Willows.
