In 1918, Thornton W. Burgess wrote The Adventures of Happy Jack, his thirty-eighth children’s book. Mr. Burgess was-an author and naturalist who wrote over 170 books for children. In this story, Happy Jack Squirrel and his cousin, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, are quarreling over hickory nuts. They are so busy deciding who has the rights to the nuts that they don’t even notice Striped Chip munk taking all of them! Learn why Happy Jack becomes fond of Farmer Brown’s boy, and why Shadow the Weasel gets a new home.

……

Happy Jack Squirrel fills his days with fun and foolishness--even while jealously guarding his winter supply of hickory nuts from his mischief-making cousin, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and playful Striped Chipmunk.

But the bounding, bushy-tailed creature’s days of comfort and security are threatened when he wakes one morning to find his worst dream come true: Shadow the Weasel is close by, and Happy Jack finds him self running for his life, trying every trick he knows to get away from his enemy.

With gentle charm and good-natured humor, master storyteller Thornton Burgess once again draws youngsters into the timeless world of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows, where young readers learn about nature and are encouraged to love the lesser folk in fur and feathers.
