A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The famous Burgess bedtime story

Master storyteller Burgess charms youngsters once again with tales of life in the Green Forest. This time he recounts the adventures of his delightful wood characters. Springtime has arrived and Johnny Chuck sets out wandering, gets into a fight and sets up housekeeping with Polly Chuck.

The famous Burgess bedtime story

The Adventures of Johnny Chuck is another in the long list of children's books by master storyteller and conservationist Thornton W. Burgess. In this story, it is spring time in the Green Forest and a young chuck's fancy turns to thoughts of traveling, protecting one's turf, finding a new home, and yes, love. Along the way, we learn little lessons about life such as there are good and bad kinds of pride, the importance of keeping secrets and that, even in the animal world, the three most important factors in determining the desirability of property are "location, location, location.”
