Burgess was a bird-watching, berry-picking student of nature, who took up writing childrens stores including those collected in <em>Old Mother West Wind Why Stories</em> which were published in 1920.</p><p>Grandfather Frog is very old and very wise, and he knows all about the days when the world was young. When he is feeling just right, he dearly loves to tell about those long-ago days. Chug-a-rum! says Grandfather Frog. And then he told why Peter Rabbit -- and all rabbits -- cannot bend their wrists. In fact, he told a thousand stories, because thats what Grandfather Frog was meant to do. Stories of Rabbits, Chipmunks, Possums, Foxes and more forest animals. Grandfather Frog knows the important stuff about everybody who lives around the meadow.</p><p>Burgess sets his tales at a time when the world was young, back when Peter Rabbits great-great-ever-so-great grandfather was a young hopper, and Old Mother Nature still had some work to do on basic designs. She sees that a duck needs webbed feet to swim, and a prairie dog needs a burrow designed to keep dry. Burgesss animals are proud of their unique features and abilities, but the real voice of enthusiasm is the authors own, sharing the delights he found in the woods of New England. Typical of the books charm is the story of where Dippy the loon got the name of being crazy. The bird is smarter than he looks -- and thats how Dippy always gets the last laugh.</p><h1>10 of the profit from the sale of the book will be donated to charities.</h1><h1><strong>Thornton W.
