The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse, another favorite among the moral tales by conservationist Thornton W. Burgess, highlighting our favorite animal friends in nature. Danny’s is a life of many adventures, as well as narrow escapes! As is the nature of mice, he spends most of his time simply trying to survive. Danny begins the book regretting the shortness of his tail, but he is corrected by Mr. Toad, who explains that it is really a benefit helping him to evade capture. Then our small friend has a series of stalkings by Reddy and Granny Fox. He is captured by Hooty the Owl and escapes mid-flight to Peter Rabbit’s briar patch. Peter goes to Farmer Brown’s peach orchard and gets caught in a snare and barely escapes himself. Finally Danny gets trapped in a tin can and must use his wits to, once again, escape Reddy Fox.
