The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse
Thornton W. Burgess
Book Overview:
Danny begins his tale regretting the length of his tail until he is corrected by Mr. Toad. Then he has a series of stalkings by Reddy and Granny Fox. He is captured by Hooty the Owl and escapes mid-flight to Peter Rabbit's briar patch. Peter goes to Farmer Brown's peach orchard and gets caught in a snare and barely escapes himself. Finally Danny gets trapped in a tin can and must use his wits to escape Reddy Fox again. (Summary from Wikipedia)

For a minute Danny didn’t know just what to say. “I—I—I’d look so much better if I had a long tail,” he ventured.
Old Mr. Toad just laughed. “You never saw a Meadow Mouse with a long tail, did you? Of course not. What a sight it would be! Why, everybody on the Green Meadows would laugh themselves sick at the sight! You see you need to be slim and trim and handsome to carry a long tail well. And then what a nuisance it would be! You would always have to be thinking of your tail and taking care to keep it out of harm’s way. Look at me. I’m homely. Some folks call me ugly to look at. But no one tries to catch me as Farmer Brown’s boy does Billy Mink because of his fine coat; and no one wants to put me in a cage because of a fine voice.

My 7 yr old gave these books a 5. I agree. "His books are awesome' she says.I liked the way morals were told in an entertaining way.

Weer een kinderboekje uit de serie. Deze keer gaat het over Danny de veldmuis, die vele avonturen beleeft, en moet zien te ontsnappen aan de vossen, de uil en de havik. Ook zijn vriendje Peter Rabbit komt in een hachelijke situatie terecht.
Danny is a mouse that lives in a comfortable meadow. He is constantly being chanced by several different characters. There is Reddy and Granny Fox. There's a snake and a Hawk.
Danny runs away from his home to find a friend in Peter Rabbit. Peter decides to share his briar patch with Danny and they b
The Thornton Burgess series in general is quite an endearing series of children's books, which do a fine job of being readable by young readers and having interesting plots and introducing young people to a variety of animals in a semi-anthropomorphized way.

This is a phrase that brings a smile to my face as often as I hear it. As a young child, I would lose myself for hours in the simple world of the wood and pond inhabited by Little Joe Otter, Buster Bear, Grandfather Frog, and terrorized by Farmer Brown's Boy. I can remember the ver
