DESCRIPTION:
Later, as a grown-up, he told stories to his young son about the animals and wildlife that he held so dear, resulting, amongst other works, in the wonderfully warm and acutely observed work "Mother West Wind's Children", where the animals of the Green Meadows and Green Forest are having all kinds of small adventures while Grandfather Frog is telling stories to Mother West Wind's children, the "Merry Little Breezes".

We much prefer Mother West Wind's stories to Brer Rabbit and Uncle Remus. Burggess' style of writing is soothing and lulling, wonderful for bedtime or to calm an agitated or over-stimulated child.

I would find myself sinking into a slow drawl, with just a touch of twang,as we followed the doings of Bobby Coon, Grandfather. "Cannot Recommend" according to olson22. Very cheaply made. Was embarrassed to give as a baby shower gift. Love the stories.
