At the meadowed edge of a marvelous forest from which, through a placid pond, flows a stream, curious animals and birds discover together some of the delights of creation. These animals, all distinct in personality, enjoy a lively community, and in their conversations they reflect on the mysteries and meaning of the wonderful environment in which they live. Young readers (and their parents and grandparents too) will meet, among others, a brave and handsome white-tailed buck and his family, a law society of owls who reflect on nature's harmonious order, a philosophical bachelor raven with a sense of humor, some frolicsome otters learning to sing, and a poetic porcupine who composes limericks to commemorate everyone's adventures.
This beautifully illustrated collection of stories celebrates the joy of shared life in a still green and lovely land which, though challenges arise and the cycles of life are realistically represented, encourages a happy appreciation of the natural world.
