An old-fashioned charmer. I loved the neighborhood of animals, who act humanly, but also stay true to their species. This was one of my 79 year old mother's favorite book series when she was a girl, and she has carefully kept this copy ever since. ( )

Cute little fables based around the lives of woodland animals. They give lessons as to what happens when animals steal, lie, cheat, brag, etc. Easy to read, and easy enough to understand. ( )
