The Quest To Save The Smiling Pool,
By Darien Summers "Author of The Mischievous Har... (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) (Paperback)
My daughter really enjoyed this book. The story is about Jerry Muskrat and a group of his friends, such as Spotty the Turtle and Grandfather Frog as they try to solve the mystery of why their beloved Smiling Pool is slowly fading away. This story also ties into the events of another one of Burgess' books: The Adventures of Paddy the Beaver (Dover Children's Thrift Classics).
During the quest to try and save the Smiling Pool, young readers are taught valuable lessons on nature that I'm sure they will find entertaining. Their minds' are also broadened with the short poetry that opens up most of the chapters. Eventually, when the reason for the Smiling Pool's diminishment is realized, Jerry Muskrat steps up and does what is necessary to save the Pool; all while standing up to his bigger cousin, Paddy the Beaver. Jerry and Paddy then work out a plan that is beneficial to both of them. This book is 90 pages long with short 3-4 page installments, and has big easy to read font; ideal for young readers or for parents partaking in bedtime readings for their children. The black and white illustrations are also wonderfully crafted and very descriptive. I hope you give the book a try. Darien Summers, author of The Mischievous Hare, a children's book.

Its like being a kid again,

This review is from: The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) (Paperback)
I read all the Thornton Burgess books as a kid and wanted to collect as many as I could. I sat down one morning and what a treat to relax and read about Jerry. It was like being a kid again. Maybe my grandkids will like them, maybe they won't, but these paperbacks are as good as the originals.

Delightful all over again....,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat (Kindle Edition)
I read all of the Thornton W. Burgess books I could get my hands on when I was a child. I saw this as a free download for my new Kindle and decided to read it again, just for fun.
Jerry Muskrat is a delightful story that teaches lessons about nature, friendship, teamwork and taking responsibility. Children of all ages who love Mother Nature and all her creatures will enjoy this story (and the rest of the Thornton W. Burgess collection, as well). The only sad thing about the Kindle version of this book is that the illustrations were not included.
