    About this ebook

    When Buster Bear comes to live in the Green Forest, the amiable bully stirs up quite a commotion, for bears haven't lived in the forest for years. And sure enough, before long Buster has a series of run-ins with Little Joe Otter, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, Farmer Brown's Boy, and even a stubborn metal pail!
    These and other entertaining escapades are delightfully recounted in this engaging tale. Set in a timeless world of bubbling brooks, blue skies, and green groves, the story also teaches valuable lessons on the dangers of greed, pride, and insensitivity. The text, printed in large, easy-to-read type, is enhanced by six charming illustrations, based on the originals by Harrison Cady.

      This is a reprint of older stories by Thornton W. Burgess. They are short stories that go together in a story, but can be read individually. They have a little moral written into the story. There are very few illustrations and that is certainly a draw back in this day and age. I found them cute, but not a book I would probably buy for my personal library or for my grandchildren. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
