Excerpt: "Tad Coon was lost! And Doctor Muskrat and Nibble felt pretty discouraged over their chances of ever seeing him again. All the same they meant to try. They sent word of a meeting to the Woodsfolk by everyone they met. When they reached the pond, Stripes Skunk was sitting out on Doctor Muskrat's flat stone, waiting for him. "I'm leaving," said he. "But I have to thank you for all you've done for me. Perhaps I'll come back some time." He seemed...

Excerpt: "The air was blowing in at the mouth of his hole when Little Nibble Rabbit opened his eyes. That meant a cold south wind outside, a rainy wind. He could see the wet drops hanging from the top of his arched earth doorway. They would wet his back when he tried to go out and that wouldn't be nice. He shivered and closed his eyes again. Then he huddled up tighter than ever into a little furry brown ball. Still he was cold, so he tried to cuddle...

Excerpt: "You'd have thought every wing and paw in the Woods and Fields (except the Bad Little Owls, of course) would have been glad to know that Silvertip the Fox was caught. 'Specially Nibble Rabbit, who started the hunt, and wise old Doctor Muskrat, who planned it, and Tommy Peele's good dog, Watch, and Trailer the Hound, who were still barking on his trail way out in the middle of the Deep Woods. For Silvertip was just as clever as he was wicked;...

Excerpt: ""Take to the water, quick!" shouted Doctor Muskrat. "Climb a tree!" advised Chatter Squirrel, balancing on the tip end of a limb. And they had the Woodsfolk so excited they didn't know what to do. Most of them couldn't climb if they wanted to, and mighty few of them like to swim. So those who were there tried to run away, and those who weren't came to see what was going on. Tommy Peele's woods were just alive with scuttling and fluttering....

Excerpt: ""Scritch-scratch, scritch-scratch," went a noise in the woods not very far away from the pond where Doctor Muskrat was telling a story to Nibble Rabbit and Stripes Skunk. Nibble's ears flew up; the doctor got ready to dive; Stripes hunched himself up and peered anxiously over his shoulder because the sound came from the only direction where he knew of a hole to hide in. The willows, where he first lived, were over on the far side of the...

Excerpt: "You remember all the funny things Nibble heard about Man from the guests who came to his Storm Party. That was the time the Big Hollow Oak blew down, and the brave little bunny who lived at Doctor Muskrat's Pond rescued all the poor homeless folk who had been shaken out of it. He showed them the way to a fine little tent all made of cornstalks out in the Broad Field. It was so nice and snug and comfortable, the minute they tucked their tails...

Excerpt: "Never before, in the early, early spring, had there been so much excitement down at Doctor Muskrat's Pond. Of course, spring's the season for visitors. They were always on the lookout for old friends winging up from the south. The Beautiful Duck and his mate, who'd warned Nibble Rabbit about the Terrible Storm, stopped in to wish everyone a happy summer. Then they laughingly beaked their way northward through a flurry of late snow. Bad weather...
