THE ADVENTURES OF DANNY MEADOW MOUSE

  Danny spends much of his time avoiding the likes of Hooty the Owl, who drifts effortlessly above him in the open air; Reddy Fox and old Granny Fox, who stalk him as he races through snow tunnels; Mr. Blacksnake, who silently slithers after him through the grass; and other pesky predators. Youngsters will enjoy reading and listening to the adventures of the plucky vole and his friends as they explore Farmer Brown"s orchard, the Old Briar-patch and the enchanting world of the Green Meadows. The text has been completely reset in large, easy-to-read type and Thea Kliros has adapted six black-and-white illustrations from the originals by Harrison Cady.

  A plump little meadow mouse is always an inviting target for hungry hunters in the Green Meadows. This certainly should give Danny Meadow Mouse enough cause for concern; but lately, he"s been worrying about something else--his short tail! In fact, he wants so much to have a different tail that he almost forgets to take care of the one he has.

  LITTLE DANNY MEADOW MOUSE was timid. All the animals of the Green Meadows agreed on that. But as Danny told old Mr. Toad, if he were not timid he would not have much of a chance to survive. Besides, he was nimble and quick and his senses were keen. He rather enjoyed playing hide-and-seek with his foe Reddy Fox, darting from one little tunnel to another across the meadow. One day, however, he forgot to look up and Hooty the Owl nearly had a tasty dinner. That adventure brought Peter Rabbit to Danny"s aid, and later Danny had the opportunity to return Peter"s kindness.
