Thornton W. BurgessThe Adventures of Reddy Fox (August 6, 2008)

LibriVox recording of The Adventures of Reddy Fox, by Thornton W. Burgess. Read by John Lieder.

The Adventures of Reddy Fox is another in the series of children’s stories by conservationist Thornton W. Burgess. In this story, Reddy and Granny Fox must outsmart Farmer Brown’s Boy who is out to get Reddy for stealing his pet chicken. Along the way, Reddy encounters many of the citizens of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest and with him we learn little lessons about life such as: the perils of being a show off; the importance of using all of one’s senses; that it is a fine thing to show sympathy and kindness to others – even our enemies; and that the value of a grandmother’s wisdom is inestimable.

We also learn that after you’ve stolen a boy’s pet chicken and he is coming your way with a gun, a shovel and a hound dog, it may be time to beat a hasty retreat. (Summary by John Lieder)

Very fun reading! Mr. Lieder does different voices for all the animals which is entertaining to listen to. Well read! The book is funny too, it reminds me of stories my Mom used to tell me. :-)
