Adventures of Old Man Coyote (version 2)

Old Man Coyote has arrived in the Green Forest, and he has hunger on his mind and trickery in his heart. The gentle animals who call this place home quickly discover that their new neighbor is not interested in friendship, he sees dinner everywhere he looks. But the creatures of the Green Forest are cleverer than they look. Through humor, teamwork, and quick thinking, they turn the predator's own cunning against him, teaching readers that brains can triumph over brawn. Thornton W. Burgess wrote these stories to entertain and to educate, weaving actual animal behaviors into tales that have delighted children for over a century. The result is a book that captures the eternal drama of predator and prey, but with a lightness and humor that makes it perfect for young readers. It's a story about wits winning over strength, about community standing together, and about the wild beauty of the forest.
