STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING in the Green Meadows. Scary noises can be heard at night, noises that are not made by Hooty the Owl or Dippy the Loon. This is traditionally the happiest time of the year in the Green Meadows, but something has changed: a stranger has moved in!

……

"Listen," whispered Jimmy Skunk to Peter Rabbit as the strange howl ing sound echoed through the Green Forest. But Peter was listening. He had never heard anything like it. The sound made cold chills run up and down his backbone. What could it be?

Children will love finding out as Peter Rabbit, Jimmy Skunk, Prickly Porky, Granny Fox, Reddy Fox and other dwellers in the Green Forest react to a new--and scary--neighbor. All ends happily, of course, in this timeless fable by noted storyteller Thornton W. Burgess.

Reprinted in large, easy-to-read type and enhanced with six new illus trations (based on the Harrison Cady originals), The Adventures of Old Man Coyote combines the fun of a good story with gentle lessons about nature, wildlife and proper behavior.
