It is wintertime in the Green Meadows and Green Forest. Winter can be a difficult time for animals since food is much harder to find. Reddy Fox and Granny Fox spend almost every waking moment hunting for their next meal. Reddy is not very patient, and it is so hard being hungry all the time. In this story, Reddy learns that Granny is very smart--she still knows a few tricks to help them-get something to eat. But she cannot afford to become care less, because she knows that Bowser the Hound is close behind, waiting to catch her and Reddy.

……

Winter"s here, and there"s a carpet of deep snow covering the Green Forest and the nearby meadow--which means Reddy Fox.and Granny Fox are having trouble finding food. Reddy, of course, is full of reckless ideas, such as getting into Farmer Brown"s chicken house in daylight.

Using the wisdom she"s acquired over the years, Granny overrules many of Reddy"s foolhardy suggestions, taking the conceit out of a youngster who thinks he knows more than anyone else. Granny also teaches Reddy quite a bit about patience, common sense, and resourcefulness.

A timeless fable by master storyteller Thornton W. Burgess, Old Granny Fox will delight youngsters with an entertaining story while teaching important lessons--in a painless and enjoyable way--about wildlife, the environment, and personal conduct.
