Mother West Wind's Children
Thornton Waldo Burgess and George F. Kerr
Johnny Chuck and Reddy Fox were young once, and Mother West Wind remembers everything. Her children, the Merry Little Breezes, carry tales across the Green Meadows in this early Burgess collection, where every gust delivers a story. The gentle beginning of an American bedtime empire. Open a window and let the breezes in. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
