"Bow, wow, wow!" cried Bowser the Hound in his deepest voice, and sprang at the stranger.
Then something happened, so surprising that Blacky the Crow lost his balance on the top of the pine where he was watching. The instant that Bowser sprang, the stranger rolled himself into a tight round ball and out of the long hair of his coat sprang hundreds of sharp little yellowish white barbed spears. The stranger looked for all the world like a huge black and yellow chestnut burr.
Bowser the Hound was as surprised as Blacky the Crow. He stopped short and his eyes looked as if they would pop out of his head. He looked so puzzled and so funny that Happy Jack Squirrel laughed aloud.

Read with Asa for Y0.5. What a fun little collection of forest stories. ☺
Reading these stories to my little kids was an especially sweet experience because the book was given to my dad in 1952, when he was four years old. He remembers my grandma reading the stories to him. I tried my best to do voices, which was kind of challenging because there are so many! characters.
Thornton W. Burgess' animal fables are always a joy.
I read this aloud to my boys and they loved the stories of all the mischievous animals. The language is rich and engaging.
This was a cute story geared toward a younger audience. While it was an entire book, the chapters were akin to short stories. I feel that it would be great in a bedtime situation as you could read one chapter per night. It would keep the kids engaged and hopefully looking forward to the next night w
