The Adventures of Paddy the Beaver (Paperback or Softback)

When Paddy the Beaver decides to finally build a dam to create the lovely pond he longs for in the Green Forest, he attracts lots of attention from his woodland neighbors: no one has ever seen a busy beaver at work before! But all those creatures cause all sorts of unexpected problems. And then Farmer Brown's boy gets curious about what's going on. Will Paddy be able to finish his dam and enjoy the peace of the woods again? One of the most popular writers for children in the English language, American author and naturalist THORNTON WALDO BURGESS (1874-1965) produced more than 170 books and 15,000 stories featuring a bevy of animal characters that continue to charm children and adults alike while also teaching gentle lessons about wildlife conservation. This delightful 1917 volume is part of Burgess's "Bedtime Story-Books" series about the adventures of Buster Bear, Joe Otter, and other enchanting creatures.
