Timothy Turtle almost smiled.
"Am I hurting you?" he inquired.
"Yes, you are!" cried Fatty Coon.

This is another fine collection of stories in the Tuck Me in Tales. My son and I didn’t enjoy these ones as much as Reddy Woodpecker, and Jolly Robin, but it was still an enjoyable and charming read.
A fanciful, enjoyable tale of woodland creatures.
This was clearly intended for children, but the main character is so disreputable, that perhaps it is better not for children to read it.
We ended up finishing this via Libravox. It entertained the kids and indirectly taught them a lot about the habits of different animals. I still much prefer Burgess though.
