內容介紹
Author and editor of numerous children's books, Thornton W.Burgess was also a noted conservationist. In writing for young-sters, he combined a gift for story-telling with his love of the outdoors, creating an entertaining menagerie of anirrals whose adventures he skillfully recounted in a series of charming fables.In them, he taught young readers about nature and encouragedthem to love the "lesser folk in fur and feathers."In this delightfully told tale, Burgess chronicles the escapades of Chatterer the Red Squirrel, who's known throughout the Creen Forest as a mischief-maker. Narrowly escaping the clutches of Shadow the Weasel and Redtail the Hawk, the bushy-tailed little fellow decides to leave the forest for a new home, only to learn
that curiosity, carelessness and mistrust can lead to a heap of troubles.
