BOBBY COON'S MISTAKE

BOBBY COON'S MISTAKE - BY THORNTON W. BURGESS - ILLUSTRATED BY HARRISON CADY - A GUNSTON CLASSICNever take anything for granted: After a long winter's sleep Bobby Coon was very hungry indeed. After stretching a bit, he heads off to look for food. Remembering where Blacky the Crow and his family had a nest last summer, Bobby decides to take a look. The thought of eggs caused him to climb the big tree. But what a mistake that was. A simplistic tale to be enjoyed by young listeners. A fairly quick read that is ideal for bedtime reading, by the early environmentalist Thornton Burgess with bright color illustrations by Harrison Cady. Ages 3-5 years old.
