Note: I received a digital review copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

This is a reprint of older stories by Thornton W. Burgess. They are short stories that go together in a story, but can be read individually. They have a little moral written into the story. There are very few illustrations and that is certainly a draw back in this day and age. I found them cute, but not a book I would probably buy for my personal library or for my grandchildren. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

Aa new animal comes to the forest: Buster Bear. All the smaller animals are afraid of him, especially after they see how he bullies little Joe Otter to get his fish for breakfast. Thus they are quite gleeful to discover that Buster is afraid of the farmer's boy, and shocked to discover that the boy is likewise afraid of Buster! What happens when bear and boy encounter each other in the blueberry patch is quite comical. I enjoyed this story quite as much as the others. The animals all like to pull pranks on each other and tease, but in the end it turns out they're good-hearted.
