Author and editor of numerous children's books, Thornton W. Burgess was also a noted conservationist. In writing for youngsters he combined a gift for storytelling with his love of the outdoors, creating an entertaining menagerie of animals whose adventures he skillfully recounted in a series of charming fables. In them, he taught young readers about nature and encouraged them to love the "lesser folk in fur and feathers."

In this delightfully told tale, Burgess chronicles the escapades of Chatterer the Red Squirrel, who's known throughout the Green Forest as a mischief maker. Narrowly escaping the clutches of Shadow the Weasel and Redtail the Hawk, the bushy-tailed little fellow decides to leave the forest for a new home, only to learn that curiosity, carelessness, and mistrust can lead to a heap of troubles.

First published in 1915, this engaging story will charm readers of all ages — as well as young listeners.

Recorded by students of Houghton College in Houghton, NY

Too many different ppl reading. Makes the sound uneven, and sometimes it is loud and sometimes it’s too quiet. When you are trying to use the story as a sleep aide, you are not going to sit up and adjust the volume. First time I was not delighted with the presentation.
