The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse

Description

Danny spends much of his time avoiding the likes of Hooty the Owl, who drifts effortlessly above him in the open air; Reddy Fox and old Granny Fox, who stalk him as he races through snow tunnels; Mr. Blacksnake, who silently slithers after him through the grass; and other pesky predators.

Youngsters will enjoy reading and listening to the adventures of the plucky vole and his friends as they explore Farmer Brown’s orchard, the Old Briar-patch, and the enchanting world of the Green Forest.
